AI Summary
This bill would create a new Medicare buy-in option for first responders aged 50 to 64 who have retired or been disabled and separated from service. The bill would allow these individuals to enroll in Medicare Parts A, B, and D, including Medicare Advantage plans, and would establish premium and coverage periods for the buy-in option. The bill also includes provisions related to the Affordable Care Act, such as treating the buy-in coverage as minimum essential coverage and coordinating with market reforms.
