from 's Medicaid Enrollment and Unwinding Tracker:

"Across all states with available data, 71% of all people disenrolled had their coverage terminated for procedural reasons. There is also wide variation in rates of procedural disenrollments across states reporting this breakout, ranging from 93% in South Carolina to 15% in Alaska. Procedural disenrollments are cases where people are disenrolled because they did not complete the renewal process and can occur when the state has outdated contact information or because the enrollee does not understand or otherwise does not complete renewal packets within a specific timeframe. High procedural disenrollment rates are concerning because many people who are disenrolled for these paperwork reasons may still be eligible for Medicaid coverage."

The week of Thanksgiving just 30% of people age 65 and over & 11% of all eligible have gotten a bivalent COVID shot.

How COVID surges this winter is uncertain but the extent to which spread translates to deaths will depend on booster vaccination rates.
