An analysis released on May 2 from the Urban Institute found that Medicaid disenrollments exceeded projections in eight states as of November 2023: Arkansas, Idaho, Iowa, Montana, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, South Dakota and Texas. The report, which was funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, also found that disenrollments of children were higher than projected in 12 states: Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Mississippi, Montana, Oklahoma, South Dakota and Texas. The Urban Institute had previously projected that enrollment in Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program would decline by nearly 15 million people between April 2023 and June 2024. Between April 2023 and April 2024, Medicaid enrollment declined 10.4% to 85.7 million lives, according to AIS’s Directory of Health Plans.
