Medicaid Unwinding Impact on Coverage
Research published in JAMA Health Forum reveals that despite over 25 million people losing Medicaid coverage during the unwinding process in 2023, the uninsured rate remains stable.
This stability is attributed to many individuals quickly re-enrolling or switching to other types of coverage after being dropped from Medicaid.
Medicaid unwinding was the large-scale review and removal of members from Medicaid that began in 2023 after pandemic rules that assured continuous coverage expired.
- Over 25 million people lost Medicaid coverage during the unwinding process.
- States resumed checking eligibility, causing millions to lose benefits.
- Many individuals re-enrolled or found other types of coverage, maintaining a steady uninsured rate.
Study lead Adrianna McIntyre, Ph.D., M.P.H., assistant professor of health policy and politics at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, contributed to the research.
