It means a lot of people make too much money to be on Medicaid but they don't know it because eligibility has been frozen since 2020 in order to make sure as many people as possible had coverage in case they got really sick with covid. And probably sometime in 2023 everyone nationwide will have to prove their current income to remain on Medicaid. BUT for most who don't qualify, they can get nearly free plans on the State Health Exchange.

If you haven't bounced in and out of Medicaid eligibility before, it's less likely this will affect you. Probably a lot of those affected will be women who qualified due to pregnancy since the limits are higher.

(Sorry if I'm scaring you with this, that's not my intent I just think it's terrible that most people don't know bc it's a lot of people affected).
