AI Summary
This Joint Resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to expand eligibility for Medicaid, a government health insurance program, to include individuals for whom federal matching funds are available under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), a federal law that expanded health insurance coverage. Specifically, it would require the state to provide medical assistance to all eligible applicants under the ACA's provisions, with this change to take effect on January 1, 2024, and expire on January 1, 2025, unless otherwise extended.
