Millions of people being dropped from Medicaid right now is a reflection of two policy choices: One, the U.S. does not have universal health coverage. Two, we often put in place administrative systems that are burdensome to low-income people, and they fall through the cracks.

Trying to tie 2 numbers together...from Fig 1, FL has reenrolled 1.4m people. Fig 4 shows FL with 71٪ of renewals via forms. Would've guessed to get that big a № of renewals, would've been mostly ex parte. Has FL really cranked through nearly a million renewal applications since unwinding started?
