AI Summary
This bill, the Medicaid Saves Lives Act, aims to establish a program that provides health care coverage to low-income adults in states that have not expanded Medicaid. The key provisions include: 1) The Secretary of Health and Human Services must create a program that offers eligible individuals, those described in the Affordable Care Act's Medicaid expansion but living in non-expansion states, the opportunity to enroll in health coverage that meets certain requirements, such as providing essential health benefits and having no premiums and limited cost-sharing. 2) The program must apply relevant Medicaid requirements and provisions. 3) The bill does not mandate that states make expenditures related to the program. 4) The bill also increases and extends the temporary enhanced federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP) for states that begin to cover the Medicaid expansion population.
