In the Year Following a Disenrollment From Medicaid/CHIP, Roughly Two-Out-of-Three People Had a Period of Uninsurance

Health Insurance Changes in the 12 Months Following Disenrollment from Medicaid/CHIP, 2016-2019

NOTE: Seniors ages 65 and older excluded from the analysis. Numbers may not sum to totals due to rounding. "Another Source of Coverage" includes any type of coverage other than Medicaid/CHIP, including private or other public coverage. "Re-Enrolled in Medicaid/CHIP ("Churn") After a Period of Uninsurance" includes people who were uninsured for some or all their Medicaid/CHIP enrollment gap. Most were uninsured for all of their Medicaid/CHIP enrollment gap. If we only included people who were uninsured for all of their Medicaid/CHIP enrollment gap, this group's share would decrease from 33% to 30%.
