Annie Kuster: “I just think it is duplicitous for them to pretend that we are going to recoup millions, billions of dollars.”

Estimates find that as many as 15 million Americans could lose health insurance coverage because of these redeterminations, including 6.8 million who would still be eligible for coverage and incorrectly lose their Medicaid.

Picture a family who loses coverage and is unable to access care, preventative services, behavioral healthcare, necessary medications because of factors completely outside their control.

That would have a devastating impact on our workforce as well.

I was an original cosponsor of the USA Telecommunications Act and worked to include it in the CHIPS and Science Act last year.
