Georgia Democrats on Capitol Hill are again expressing concern over the number of children losing their health insurance coverage during the nationwide Medicaid redetermination process, which has been underway since last spring after COVID-19 public health emergency protections ended.

As of last fall, roughly 150,000 Georgia children had their health coverage cut off, according to the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

The agency has repeatedly urged the state to do more to keep kids covered.
