Colorado stands out among the 10 states that have disenrolled the highest share of Medicaid beneficiaries since the U.S. government lifted a pandemic-era restriction on removing people from the health insurance program.

It’s the only blue state in a cluster of red states with high disenrollment rates — a group that includes Idaho, Montana, Texas, and Utah — in the Medicaid “unwinding” underway since spring 2023.

Colorado also is the only state that had all the policy ingredients in place to cushion the fallout from the unwinding, according to Medicaid policy analysts at KFF.

    I wish every article were written this way. Here’s argument one. Here’s the real data. Here’s argument 2. Here’s the real data. Here’s are some comparisons to other states, how they did it, and what happened.

    Keep point/counter point going until you get the defensive “I don’t care what Montana did. This is Colorado.” Ugh.

    Blue no matter who working for the people again.

    We need better candidates and we need to make the dnc understand this.

      Yes fight for better blue candidates. But don’t stop voting against Red. What red has done with healthcare is murder.
