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.

You’d think the states that endanger a woman’s life to birth a baby, would want to keep those babies alive after they are born but here we are. I’d say I’d love to hear a Pro-Life perspective on this but in reality I actually give zero fucks what the people who got us in this mess think.

"Pro-life" is the biggest lie ever. They're death cultists who just want more blood to spill for their imaginary blood god.

It's becoming time to fight fire with fire.

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.

[-] Caradoc879@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

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.

Good old think of the children. See they want you to just think of them and not protect and better their lives. Can’t do that it costs money.

[-] WeeSheep@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Hard to protect a child from the gays if the kid is dead.

[-] Unaware7013@kbin.social 7 points 8 months ago

Is it though? A dead kid is less likely to be abused than a live one. If you look at it that way, republicans are just doing their best to solve children's problems 🤢🤮
