It's been really disheartening to not meet a single family who has been aware that this is coming and it's been a range from younger kids to older kids, all of them on Medicaid and unaware that this new eligibility window was going to occur.

At the end of visits, I'll chat with families and just assess whether they're aware of it (Medicaid Unwinding) or not.

The patients that I believe are most vulnerable to having these temporary lapses in coverage are ones that have had some movement in the family over the past few years.

When families have a gap in their health coverage and when these kids have gaps in their health coverage, there are so many unintended negative health consequences.

I first heard about the Medicaid unwinding at the Health Care Unscrambled event put on by the Georgians for a Healthy Future. And it was this amazing get-together of state legislators and other advocates.
