Yesterday I wrote about the standard monthly Medicaid/CHIP enrollment report published by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). I noted that as of April 2026, total combined Medicaid & CHIP enrollment had fallen by another 398,000 people, to around 73.9 million Americans.
I also noted that this figure is nearly 5.1 million lower than it was as of January 2025...the same month that Donald Trump returned to the White House and Republicans took over all three branches of the federal government.
