Then today (Dec. 19) there's this from The Washington Post AND KFF Health News. Just another sickening example of how these assholes don't care about actual children:

"Just nine states are responsible for roughly 60 percent of the decline in children’s enrollment in Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program between March and September, according to new data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

"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 adopt federal flexibilities aimed at simplifying the Medicaid eligibility-checking process, which will remain available through 2024.

"Becerra said state health officials should also focus their efforts on making CHIP transfer easier, reducing call center wait times and, if they haven’t already, expanding eligibility for Medicaid."
