AI Summary

This bill expands Medicaid eligibility in Mississippi under the federal Affordable Care Act (ACA) and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). It adds a new paragraph to the Medicaid eligibility criteria to cover individuals under 65 years old who are not pregnant, not enrolled in Medicare, and have income up to 133% of the federal poverty level. It also provides Medicaid coverage for children under 19 years old with family income between 133% and 200% of the federal poverty level, as authorized under CHIP. Additionally, the bill repeals the Mississippi Children's Health Insurance Program Act, as the new CHIP provisions are incorporated into the expanded Medicaid program.
