dc.description	The COVID-19 related public health emergency (PHE) led to federal legislation that changed the current landscape of Medicaid coverage. Beginning in March 2020, states agreed to suspend Medicaid disenrollment in exchange for increased federal funds to help stabilize their budgets. Texas had the nation’s highest uninsurance rate at 18.4% in 2019, but as of June 2022, total Texas Medicaid caseload has increased by 41% or 1.6 million people, substantially decreasing the number of uninsured. The authors used public data to estimate the gains in Medicaid coverage attributable to the PHE and losses in caseload when the policy expires, as well as the net fiscal impacts.	en_US
