Medicaid, the nation's largest health insurance program covering nearly 80 million people or more than 1 in 5 Americans, is undergoing significant changes affecting millions. In Florida, since April 2023, 460,000 children have lost their Medicaid coverage, contributing to a total of 1.3 million patients losing access. This development comes as thousands of Florida's most vulnerable children are set to lose their coverage. Meanwhile, in New York, a major update to Medicaid in 2024 allows more people aged 65 and older, including undocumented immigrants, to qualify for health insurance. This expansion means that many who previously only qualified for Emergency Medicaid may now be eligible for regular Medicaid, providing access to routine doctor visits, screenings, lab tests, medications, and more through Medicaid Managed Care plans. For many, Medicaid is a vital government program.
