Abstract
Over 15 million low-income Americans are expected to lose Medicaid coverage as COVID-19 public health emergency protections end starting April 1, 2023. We explore the ramifications of the impending disenrollment on access to surgical care, racial equity, and financial risk protection. We then outline steps for the surgical community to protect low-income patients and the hospitals they rely on for care.
