What happens when the covid emergency declaration ends?

This mandate worked irrespective of state laws on eligibility, and the federal government gave states funding to continue the coverage. This provision is scheduled to end before the emergency, on Mar. 31. Some states will begin taking people off their Medicaid rolls as soon as April—leaving an estimated five to 14 million Americans without insurance.
