Abstrakt: This article by Eleanor Klibanoff and Lomi Kriel examines the removal of millions of people from Medicaid in Texas after the expiration of federal pandemic-era protections. Texas removed more people at a faster rate than any other state, resulting in nearly 1.4 million people losing coverage for bureaucratic reasons, not because they were ineligible. The decision to remove people from Medicaid went against federal guidelines and had severe consequences, particularly for children who were unable to receive necessary medical care. The authors highlight the challenges faced by low-income families in accessing healthcare coverage and emphasize the importance of improved access to affordable healthcare for all.
