Bill Summary
Relating to the expansion of eligibility for Medicaid to certain persons under the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
AI Summary
This bill expands eligibility for Medicaid under the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) in Texas. It requires the state's Health and Human Services Commission to provide Medicaid assistance to all eligible individuals for whom federal matching funds are available under the ACA. The bill also requires the commission to adopt rules for implementing the expanded eligibility and to report annually on the effects of the expansion, including its impact on the number of uninsured individuals, health care costs, and uncompensated care. The bill's provisions would take effect on January 1, 2020, but only if a constitutional amendment requiring Medicaid expansion is approved by Texas voters.
