I don't have a dog in this hunt but dude, California has almost 40 million people, 33% of them are on some kind of Medicaid ...roughly 13 million people, almost 3 times the population of Mississippi and Wyoming combined. I don't know where you get your numbers.
California's Medicaid program is called Medi-Cal. It covered nearly
15.3 million people as of October 2022. Over a third of Californians rely on the program to get health insurance coverage.
Medicaid and CHIP was 779,298.
Over 25% of Mississippians receive Mississippi Medicaid health benefits. Medicaid and CHIP was 720,826. To qualify, you must submit a completed application for Mississippi Medicaid health benefits, and meet state and federal eligibility requirement.
As of June 2021,
68,493 people are enrolled in Medicaid/CHIP programs in Wyoming, which was 1% higher than enrollment had been in 2013.ts.
Wyoming comes in at 11%.
