The geographic distribution of the population in the coverage gap reflects both population distribution and regional variation in state take-up of the ACA Medicaid expansion. The South has relatively higher numbers of poor uninsured adults than in other regions, has higher uninsured rates and more limited Medicaid eligibility than other regions, and accounts for the majority (8 out of 12) of states that opted not to expand Medicaid.5 As a result, the vast majority of people in the coverage gap in 2019 reside in the South (Figure 2).
While Part A is funded primarily by payroll taxes, benefits for Part B physician and other outpatient services and Part D prescription drugs are funded by general revenues and premiums paid for out of separate accounts in the Supplementary Medical Insurance (SMI) trust fund. The revenues for Medicare Part B and Part D are determined annually to meet expected spending obligations, meaning that the SMI trust fund does not face a funding shortfall, in contrast to the HI trust fund. But higher projected spending for benefits covered under Part B and Part D will increase the amount of general revenue funding and beneficiary premiums required to cover costs for these parts of the program in the future.
The Commonwealth Fund tracks the share of people with health coverage who are underinsured, meaning their plan does not provide adequate protection from high out-of-pocket costs and deductibles, excluding premiums.6 A deductible that accounts for 5 percent or more of household income is one of our threshold measures of being underinsured.

Users have traditionally needed a premium license to administer and manage Power Apps and Power Automate but this appears to be changing. This change was not part of the February 2019 changes, nor is it part of the October 2019 changes. It instead seems to be a separate change that was announced on the Power Apps blog in May 2019 and in the July 25, 2019 blog post linked above. Because this licensing change was announced separately it is unclear if the implementation of the change will sync with the other changes being made in October 2019.

Power Apps premium plans no longer include an equivalent Power Automate premium plan. From Microsoft's July 25, 2019 blog post: "Power Apps users will continue to be able to run any flow that is triggered directly from an app, or from the data that app updates. However the full standalone capabilities of Microsoft Flow will be reserved for the standalone Flow plans outlined below."
