A Mother Jones report says fear of immigration enforcement drove many immigrants in California to drop out of Medicaid, and now many are unable to reenroll. The piece links disenrollment to the federal policy law known as OBBBA and to immigration-related cuts, warning that large numbers have lost health insurance coverage as a result.
Why now: The report highlights lasting health coverage losses tied to immigration fears and recent federal policy changes.
