Millions who rely on Medicaid may be booted from program
At the beginning of the pandemic, the federal government prohibited states from kicking people off Medicaid, even if they were no longer eligible. Before the pandemic, people would regularly lose their Medicaid coverage if they started making too much money to qualify for the program, gained health care coverage through their employer or moved into a new state.

Does the tone of "booted" sound deliberately rude to you or does it sound neutral? The word appears to mean "kick hard" - and then it seems to have an intention to sound rude to impress the reader. I am not sure.
