Della Young, a kidney transplant patient with lupus, stands at her home in McDonough, Ga., on Oct. 26, 2021. Young lost Medicaid coverage when she moved from New York to Georgia, which is one of 11 states that hasn’t expanded Medicaid coverage to 138% of the poverty level. Those nonexpansion states have lower rates of insurance coverage and health care access overall, with larger disparities between racial/ethnic groups, than expansion states.
