View in browser NEW & NOTEWORTHY KFF Congressional District Analysis of Medicaid Enrollment Shows at Least Half of Either Republican or Democratic Congressional Districts Have 21% or More of Residents Enrolled  KFF's new interactive maps illustrate enrollment numbers, including eligibility groups and the percentage enrolled, for each congressional district   To illustrate the potential impact of Medicaid cuts being discussed by Congress, KFF's new interactive maps show total enrollment numbers and the enrollment percentage by congressional district. Enrollment numbers include enrollment in each of the major Medicaid eligibility groups, highlighting whose coverage may be at risk in upcoming deliberations. Key takeaways include: There are 53,000 or more Medicaid enrollees living in each Congressional district, with enrollment as high as 510,000 in some districts. In each congressional district, there are at least: 3,500 Medicaid enrollees ages 65 and older, 2,000 enrollees eligible because of a disability, 7,400 child enrollees, and 5,300 other adult enrollees. Half of all Republican congressional districts have 21% and half of all Democratic districts have 26% or more of their population enrolled in Medicaid. Republican districts have a higher share of Medicaid enrollees who are children and who are eligible because of a disability compared with Democratic districts that have a higher share of expansion enrollees and adults ages 65 and older. Based on this analysis, the districts that rely more heavily on the program include: Top 10 Republican districts by enrollment: CA22 (495,200); KY05 (397,800); CA23 (355,400); CA01 (316,800); LA05 (312,600); NY11 (304,100); LA03 (303,000); WV01 (300,100); LA04 (288,400); and WA04 (278,000).
