CHIP

With Congressional Republicans having clearly decided to target the ACA's Medicaid expansion population for gutting (potentially kicking up to 21 million Americans off their healthcare coverage), they're heavily pushing talking points claiming that they're Deeply Concerned® about preserving Medicaid for those they deem to be "deserving" of coverage:

The Musk/Trump Regime has published an update to the official Medicaid/CHIP enrollment data:

November 2024 Key Findings

Medicaid and CHIP Enrollment

• In December 2024, 78.8 million individuals were enrolled in Medicaid and CHIP.
  • 71.5 million individuals were enrolled in Medicaid, and 7.3 million individuals were enrolled in CHIP.
  • 41.4 million adults were enrolled in Medicaid, and there were 37.4 million Medicaid child and CHIP enrollees.

Medicaid and CHIP Applications Received

• In December 2024, Medicaid, CHIP, Human Services agencies, and State-based Marketplaces received 3.0 million applications, or 11 percent more applications, as compared to November 2024.
• The number of applications received has increased by 30 percent since December 2023 and increased by 84 percent since December 2022.

Total Medicaid/CHIP enrollment in December 2024 dropped slightly from November, by 171,000 people or 0.2%.

Over the past couple of months I've compiled a master spreadsheet breaking out enrollment in ACA plans (Qualified Health Plans & Basic Health Plans), Medicaid/CHIP coverage (both traditional & via ACA expansion) and Medicare (both Fee-for-Services & Advantage) at the Congressional District levels.

With the pending dire threat to several of these programs (primarily Medicaid & the ACA) from the House Republican Budget Proposal which recently passed, I'm going a step further and am generating pie charts which visualize just how much of every Congressional District's total population is at risk of losing healthcare coverage.
