Despite Medicaid’s positive impact, the Mississippi Division of Medicaid’s monthly enrollment reports show that nearly 20,000 children – and 50,000 Mississippians in total – have been dropped from Medicaid this year, following changes in COVID-19-era regulations. To ensure Medicaid’s effectiveness, it is vital that our government leaders accurately implement these policy changes that disenroll newly ineligible individuals. It would be hugely counterproductive to the health and well being of Mississippians and the strength of the Medicaid program if anyone is erroneously disenrolled.
