Bill Summary
For legislation to ensure equitable health coverage for children. Health Care Financing.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a program to provide comprehensive health coverage through MassHealth (the state's Medicaid program) to children and young adults under 21 years old who are residents of Massachusetts but are not otherwise eligible for Medicaid or Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) benefits solely due to their immigration status. The program will provide benefits equivalent to those available to individuals of similar age and income under the existing Medicaid and CHIP eligibility requirements, and the state will seek to maximize federal funding for these benefits, though the benefits are not contingent on the availability of federal financial participation.
