When things like that happen, you tend to get more calls.”Early said his office has received thousands of tips about what happened to Molly 23 years ago.

And a KFF Health News analysis of state data shows the vast majority were removed from state rolls for not completing paperwork.Under normal circumstances, states review their Medicaid enrollment lists regularly to ensure every recipient qualifies for coverage.
