AI Summary

This bill establishes a program of comprehensive health coverage for children and young adults under the age of 21 who are residents of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, 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 these individuals with the same comprehensive MassHealth benefits that are available to others of similar age and income under the state's Medicaid and CHIP programs, regardless of the availability of federal funding.
