The Latest Medicaid Enrollment Trends
KFF’s Medicaid Enrollment and Unwinding Tracker presents the most recent data on monthly Medicaid and CHIP enrollment reported by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, starting in February 2020. Archived data on unwinding renewal outcomes is also available.
Survey
How the Unwinding Affected Enrollees
Over half who were disenrolled say they put off needed medical care while trying to renew Medicaid. Overall, 19% of adults who had Medicaid prior to the start of unwinding say they were disenrolled at some point in the past year. Of this group, a large majority (70%) were left at least temporarily uninsured.

Forward or Backward on the Uninsured?
In his new column, KFF President and CEO Drew Altman looks back at the remarkable progress made in expanding coverage for the uninsured and what it could mean politically for today’s remaining uninsured—a population that has had little clout historically and will command even less attention now.
issue brief
The Uninsured and Eligible for Medicaid
Despite coverage gains during the pandemic, 25.6 million nonelderly people remained uninsured in 2022. Six in ten of the uninsured people are eligible for Medicaid or subsidized plans in the Marketplace but are not enrolled. We examine the characteristics of this population using 2022 national survey data.
