AI Summary
This bill would expand Medicaid eligibility in Mississippi to include individuals under 65 years old with incomes up to 133% of the federal poverty level, as authorized under the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). The bill would require the Mississippi Division of Medicaid to provide essential health benefits to this new eligibility group, but this expanded coverage would only be in effect as long as the federal Medicaid matching percentage for this group is at least 90%. The bill would repeal these provisions on December 31, 2025.
