Thousands on Medicaid in WA may lose coverage
Thousands of Apple Health enrollees are at risk of losing health care coverage now that pandemic protections for Medicaid have expired across the US.

Aaron Katz is a Principal Lecturer Emeritus for the School of Public Health at University of Washington. He’ll walk us through some of the administrative hurdles and how the red tape may impact patients in our state/county.
