@CJPaloma@mstdn.social I did a little research. Turns out, NM backfilled basically all of the expiring federal ACA low and middle income premium subsidies, and was the only state to do so. I guess having a massive budget surplus is good for something!

@inti@archaeo.social @CJPaloma@mstdn.social It looks like they used the 'Health Care Affordability Fund' instead of any of the sovereign funds. https://www.nmlegis.gov/handouts/LHHS%20062525%20Item%2011%20HCAF.pdf

@CJPaloma@mstdn.social Also, it looks like NM was very aggressive about transitioning people who lost medicaid coverage (again, reduced federal subsidies) onto marketplace plans. It looks like someone in Santa Fe is doing their job. https://www.bewellnm.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Medicaid-Unwinding-Talking-Points-for-Community-Partners.pdf
