Read more about the HUD multifamily rescission and spending caps for FY24 and FY25 in this article.

500,000 dropped from Medicaid

Half a million people in 11 states have already been taken off the Medicaid rolls since redetermination started, according to a new analysis from KFF. Florida tops the charts for both measures, with nearly 250,000 removed from the rolls, equaling about half the number of completed renewals. Other states had smaller numbers on both counts: Virginia reported about 22,000 disenrollments, which equals about 10 percent of the number of completed renewals. Though many states have yet to redetermine which beneficiaries keep coverage post-pandemic, the early numbers confirm previous notions that the end of continuous enrollment could end coverage for a significant portion of the population.  The full analysis can be found here.
