Bill Summary

For legislation to ensure equitable health coverage for children. Health Care Financing.

AI Summary

This bill aims to establish a program that provides comprehensive health coverage for children and young adults under the age of 21 who are residents of the Commonwealth but are not eligible for Medicaid (Title XIX) or the Children's Health Insurance Program (Title XXI) solely due to their immigration status. The program will provide benefits equivalent to those available to individuals of similar age and income under the Medicaid and CHIP eligibility requirements, and the Executive Office will seek to maximize federal funding for the program, although the benefits will not be contingent on the availability of federal financial participation.
