Medicaid

The U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments April 2 in Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, a case over whether South Carolina can block Planned Parenthood from providing non-abortion health care services to Medicaid recipients.

The tax credits hat help subsidize insurance plans bought through the federal Marketplace are nearing the end of their extension. If they disappear, South Carolina could feel it, a new report concludes.

The veto was one of 21 line items nixed by the governor Wednesday.

South Carolina is one of 10 holdouts against Medicaid expansion. Attitudes towards expansion, however, might be changing.

Soon after pandemic Medicaid protections began unwinding in May, South Carolina posted some of the highest rates of disenrollment. By September, South Carolina's numbers leveled off, but Georgia saw big disenrollment totals.

South Carolina began ‘unwinding’ pandemic-era protections for Medicaid recipients in June. So far, the state has one of the highest total disenrollments in the country, and the highest rate, according to Kaiser Family Foundation data. But state trackers disagree.

Medicaid disenrollment won’t be sudden. But in a non-expansion state like South Carolina, returning to the old normal could hit especially hard.

Brian Kemp’s reelection — and a surprising Biden administration decision not to appeal a federal court ruling — have freed the state to introduce its plan that would allow for a limited increase in the pool of low-income residents eligible for Medicaid.
