The Biden administration has raised concerns over the significant number of children losing Medicaid and CHIP coverage in the US. Texas has seen the highest disenrollment, with 524,909 children affected, while Florida has also experienced a substantial loss of coverage, with 360,000 children affected. The data indicates that 60% of the children who lost Medicaid coverage came from nine Republican-led states. The net enrollment decline for children in Medicaid is over 3 million, with Texas and Florida accounting for over one million of these children. CHIP enrollment has only increased by 8% relative to the Medicaid decline.
