Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itAsserts that Medicaid coverage losses are entirely due to fraud or ineligibility — a broad factual claim about the reasons people are losing Medicaid that could be checked against data on Medicaid disenrollment causes
What we foundThe claim is directly contradicted by authoritative data showing approximately 69% of Medicaid disenrollments during the post-pandemic unwinding were due to procedural or administrative reasons, not ineligibility or fraud.
