A recent study suggests the nationwide "unwinding" also had a significant impact on the health of Colorado's economy.
The article from MSN discusses how Colorado has removed approximately 500,000 individuals from its Medicaid program due to a reassessment of eligibility following the end of a federal policy that had expanded coverage during the COVID-19 public health emergency. This policy, which was in place from March 2020 to March 2023, prohibited states from disenrolling people from Medicaid, leading to an increase in enrollment. With the policy's expiration, states like Colorado began the process of reevaluating eligibility, resulting in many people losing their health care coverage. The state has been working to transition those who no longer qualify for Medicaid to other forms of insurance, such as through the state's health insurance marketplace or employer-sponsored plans. However, the transition has not been seamless, with issues like administrative errors and lack of awareness among enrollees contributing to the high number of disenrollments.
