An estimated 61,000 Alabamians could lose health care coverage through Medicaid as federal pandemic protections are rolled back this spring, according to a new report.
“An unprecedented number of people have enrolled in Medicaid since the pandemic began,” the report stated. The group found roughly 18 million extra people have joined Medicaid during COVID-19.
“The people most likely to churn in and out of Medicaid eligibility include young adults, workers with part-time jobs, and people with incomes close to eligibility cutoffs,” the report found. Alabama has an incentive to quickly remove people from Medicaid who no longer qualify as federal funds to support the emergency declaration will be withdrawn when it ends, according to the study.
