Biden administration pleads with states after millions of kids lose Medicaid coverage (www.politico.com)

According to HHS, nine states are responsible for 60 percent of children’s coverage losses between March and September.

HHS wants states with the highest rates of children dropped from Medicaid to use certain federal rules that make it easier to get families back on coverage.

In letters sent Monday to the governors of Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Montana, New Hampshire, Ohio, South Dakota and Texas, HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra urged the states to take up more of options CMS has offered to ensure coverage. The options include allowing states to use enrollee information they have to auto-renew coverage.

HHS also issued new guidance for states Monday, including an option to give kids an additional 12 months to get on the rolls. That option is available through 2024, CMS Administrator Chiquita Brooks-LaSure told reporters.

Becerra also asked the states to remove barriers to Children’s Health Insurance Program enrollment for children no longer eligible for Medicaid, reduce call center times for families and expand their Medicaid programs if they haven’t already.

How about every citizen gets single payer funded health care like all of the other civilized countries. You can think of the children and the adults all at once. Radical thought

TIL Germany is not a civilized country, by virtue of having a multi-payer system.

Well if they're paying out of pocket for healtchare instead of with taxes, they aren't civilized.

Multi-payer systems are also found in the Netherlands, Switzerland, Belgium, and Austria, by the way. Notorious hellscapes, the lot of them.
