Medicaid is the largest insurance payer for childbirths in Florida , covering nearly 98,000 , or 44% of all deliveries in 2022 .

It’s unclear how many mothers have been cut from the Medicaid coverage they were entitled to receive.

The state did provide an estimate during the trial, but that number was not made available by the state.
