Isabella Quintana , who has a heart murmur and complications after a bout of bronchitis, had been covered by Medicaid .

She was dropped from the program due to what her parents believe is a paperwork issue.

It's been five months , and Isabella 's parents say she still hasn’t gotten her Medicaid back.

A third of Coloradans who lost Medicaid got their coverage restored, according to the state.

At Every Child Pediatrics, 7,000 of her patients lost Medicaid , and the percentage of uninsured patients seeking treatment at her clinics grew from 8% to 15%.

The Biden administration says each state has wide latitude in how it runs its Medicaid program.

Some advocates wonder if even bigger Medicaid coverage losses are in store when President-elect Donald Trump takes office.

Trump recently told NBC ’s Kristen Welker that entitlement programs will be off the table for cuts this time around.

Meanwhile, health care providers say the legacy of unwinding may not fully come into focus for years .
