AI Summary
This bill establishes the KanCare Bridge to a Healthy Kansas program, which expands Medicaid eligibility to all non-disabled adults under 65 years of age with incomes up to 133% of the federal poverty level. The program requires referrals to workforce training programs for unemployed or underemployed enrollees, allows for a health insurance premium assistance program, and creates dedicated funds to support the program.
