WASHINGTON — Millions of people who enrolled in Medicaid during the COVID-19 pandemic could start to lose their coverage on April 1 ifThe legislation will sunset a requirement of the COVID-19 public health emergency that prohibited states from booting people off Medicaid.

The federal government will also wind down extra funds given to states for the added enrollees over the next year under the proposal.Many will be eligible for health insurance coverage through employers, the Affordable Care Act or, in the case of kids, the Children’s Health Insurance Program.
