I think, and history shows, they would use the tools at their disposal.

That isn't the census. Census data is stale. These data are not stale. If you no longer qualify for medicaid you need to update medicaid office within 10 days for example.
You act like anybody is actually following that.
Why would you keep your medicaid if you already have employee sponsored healthcare that comes out of your would be earnings?
