AI Summary
This bill aims to expand Medicaid eligibility in Texas to include all individuals for whom federal matching funds are available. It requires the state's executive commissioner to seek a federal waiver under Section 1115 of the Social Security Act to maximize the reduction in the number of uninsured residents, promote personal responsibility in healthcare, increase the efficiency and accessibility of healthcare services, and reduce healthcare costs. The bill also directs the commissioner to apply for and actively pursue the required federal waiver as soon as practicable, and allows the state to delay implementing the expanded eligibility until the waiver is granted.
