AI Summary

This bill appropriates funds for the Department of Human Services to purchase health care services for certain low-income, uninsured immigrants who are ineligible for Medicaid, the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and health insurance exchanges established under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The bill defines "low-income" as an individual whose household income is at or below 150% of the federal poverty level. The purpose of the bill is to address obstacles to accessing health care based solely on immigration status, which prevent many low-income immigrants and their families from obtaining affordable health care coverage.
