Medicaid

For many years, the District of Columbia has had among the most generous Medicaid income eligibility thresholds in the country, with children and pregnant women in households earning up to 324% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) being eligible as well as parents earning up to 216% FPL and childless adults earning up to 210% FPL*. As a result, nearly 37% of DC's total population is enrolled in Medicaid.

The Trump Regime has published an update to the official Medicaid/CHIP enrollment data:

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has posted an official update to the enrollment data for ACA Medicaid expansion through December 2024.

According to the new report, total enrollment from September through December actually increased by just a hair (5,377) and still remained at over 20.7 million nationally, so it doesn't look like the Trump Admin has started cooking these particular books, at least not yet.

I've been able to cobble together more recent ACA expansion enrollment for about half of the 40 states (+DC) which participate in the program:

Now that I've finally completed overhauling & updating my House District Healthcare Enrollment Pie Chart project with the latest data, I wanted to address a rather frustrating elephant in the room.

For most of the healthcare programs involved, the enrollment data is now reasonably up to date:

• ACA Qualified Health Plan (QHP) enrollment is as of February 2025 via official Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) public use files.

• ACA Basic Health Plan (BHP) enrollment is as of April 2025 (NY), May 2025 (OR) or July 2025 (MN) via each state's health department monthly reports.

Over the past couple of months I've compiled a master spreadsheet breaking out enrollment in ACA plans (Qualified Health Plans & Basic Health Plans), Medicaid/CHIP coverage (both traditional & via ACA expansion) and Medicare (both Fee-for-Services & Advantage) at the Congressional District levels.

With the pending dire threat to several of these programs (primarily Medicaid & the ACA) from the House Republican Budget Proposal which recently passed, I'm going a step further and am generating pie charts which visualize just how much of every Congressional District's total population is at risk of losing healthcare coverage.
