AI Summary
This Joint Resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to expand eligibility for Medicaid, a government health insurance program, to include individuals who qualify for federal matching funds under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), a landmark federal law enacted in 2010 to increase health insurance coverage. Specifically, the amendment would require the state to provide medical assistance to all applicants for whom federal funds are available under the ACA, as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010. This change would take effect on January 1, 2024, and the amendment itself would be submitted to voters for approval on November 7, 2023, with a temporary provision expiring on January 1, 2025.
