![]() Under current law, CBO estimates that the number of Medicaid enrollees who are eligible because of the ACA totaled 12 million in 2017 and will grow to 17 million in 2027, driven largely by additional states deciding to take up expansion. The coverage losses associated with curtailing federal funding to Medicaid expansion states will likely be significant. As a result, by the end of ten-year scoring window, this provision to reduce the Medicaid match rate would differ little from simply eliminating the enhanced match rate entirely.Īs a result, by the end of ten-year scoring window, this provision to reduce the Medicaid match rate would differ little from simply eliminating the enhanced match rate entirely. However, due to income fluctuations and other factors, relatively few people remain continuously enrolled in Medicaid for years at a time. The legislation would allow states to continue receiving the enhanced match rate for individuals who are currently eligible until those individuals leave the program. The legislation’s provisions curtailing federal support for state Medicaid programs would add substantially to these coverage losses-likely several million more.įirst, the legislation would reduce the share of Medicaid costs that the federal government pays for low-income adults in the ACA’s expansion population, from 90 percent under current law to each state’s regular Medicaid match rate the regular matching rate varies across states but averages 57 percent. Effects of Ending Enhanced Match for Medicaid Expansion and Imposing a Medicaid Per Capita Cap On top of that, CBO estimated that repealing the individual mandate would reduce the number of people with employer coverage by 2 million and reduce Medicaid coverage by 7 million, bringing the total coverage loss to 15 million. In total, CBO estimated that individual market premiums would rise by 20 percent and that 6 million people would lose individual market coverage by 2026. That, in turn, would drive premium increases in the individual health insurance market, causing still further coverage losses. ![]() CBO estimated that repealing the mandate would cause many people, especially healthy people, to drop their insurance coverage. Ī Starting Point: CBO’s Prior Estimate of Repealing the Individual MandateĪs a starting point, CBO recently estimated the effect of one important provision of the House legislation: repealing the individual mandate. Estimates could be higher, but it’s is unlikely they will be significantly lower. ![]() Nonetheless, we conclude that CBO’s analysis will likely estimate that at least 15 million people will lose coverage under the American Health Care Act (AHCA) by the end of the ten-year scoring window. There is significant uncertainty about exactly how CBO will model these provisions and how it will expect the various provisions to interact with one another.

![]() It has been released to Windows Insiders in the Canary and Dev Channels. The new features are available in Photos app version 2023.11090.13001.0. I don't have a supported device, so I couldn't test this feature. This will allow you to view the animated version of Motion Photos that you captured on your Samsung or Google mobile devices. Microsoft's announcement states that it has added support for Motion Photos in the app. Location search is now supported for all photos stored in your collection, including those on your PC, OneDrive and iCloud. According to Microsoft's article, the first search may not work immediately, as OneDrive needs to process the images. OneDrive will display the relevant results by analyzing the content in your photos. Switch to the Personal section in OneDrive, click on the search bar at the top, and type the keyword of what you are looking for. ![]() The Photos app allows you to find photos stored in your OneDrive, based on the content of the picture. On a side note, Microsoft recently introduced a Background Removal Tool in the Paint app. For example, I could use it to adjust the brush size and deselect the area around the Tiger's whiskers to make the image look slightly better. You can tweak the brush's size and softness per your requirements. ![]() The selection brush tool is a more powerful tool, as it lets you select or deselect areas in the image where the blur effect should be applied in. Once the Photos app applies the background blur effect, the image editor gives you some manual controls, including a slider to set the blur intensity. Let's get back to the other photo, I think the effect looks a lot better in the picture (via Unsplash), the app even managed to detect the backpack and preserved its clarity. The Background Blur worked better with people. But it's not too bad for a user-friendly tool. The Tiger's (image via Unsplash) whiskers and paws were blurred out. The edge detection is not perfect, as you can see in the image below. When Photos finishes analyzing the image, it automatically applies the filter, with a 50% blur intensity. It uses the same "flashing / flowing border" animation that the new Text Actions option in the Snipping Tool does. The Photos app will display an animation while it processes the photo. Click on the Edit button to access the built-in image editor, and select the Background Blur option on the toolbar. To use the new feature, open any picture that has a subject (people, animals, vehicles, etc.) in the Photos app. This is similar to Portrait mode that has been popularized by Apple iPhone and Android devices. ADVERTISEMENT Background Blur in Windows 11 Photos appĪs the name suggests, Background Blur adds a bokeh effect in photos to highlight the subject, and blurs out the background.
