Many of these people are actually eligible for insurance, but lose coverage because of the byzantine logistics.
The net effect is that we require an enormous chunk of the U.S. population to continually re-enroll for health insurance.
For employer-based health insurance, this would be relatively simple, as most ineligibility stems from no longer working at the company, something that employers surely know.
For everyone else, health insurance would auto-renew each year the same way it already does for the plans on the Affordable Care Act exchanges.
For Medicaid, the income eligibility requirement adds a layer of complexity, but there are nevertheless ways to reduce the hoop jumping.
