Second guest, Sharon Graham is the national lead Regional Administrator for the agency’s HealthCare.gov Marketplace Campaign. Millions of people across the country are at risk of losing health coverage starting now and over the next several months. During the COVID-19 pandemic, states were generally allowed to temporarily stop renewals for Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). This kept people from losing their health coverage. The Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA) was signed into law on December 29, 2022 and required states to return to normal operations by restarting their renewals.
