Kicked off Medicaid: Millions at risk as states trim rolls

Some Medicaid recipients tell The Associated Press errors and confusion are leading to them being kicked off the federally and state-funded health coverage program. States are undertaking an unprecedented review of the 84 million Medicaid enrollees nationwide. The federal government will require states to remove people whose incomes are too high for the program. Millions are expected to lose insurance. Some advocacy groups and Medicaid recipients in states that have started the process say they've been mistakenly removed. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services says it'll work with states inundated with calls from enrollees. For the past three years during the coronavirus pandemic, the government had barred states from removing anyone deemed ineligible.
