Bill > HR6030

This bill would create a new Medicare buy-in option for first responders aged 50 to 64 who have retired or become disabled. The key provisions are: - Individuals who meet the eligibility requirements, including being a qualified first responder (a law enforcement officer, certain government employees, or a federal firefighter) who has separated from service due to retirement or disability, can enroll in Medicare Part A, B, and D benefits. - Enrollees would pay a monthly premium equal to 1/12 of the annual premium, which would be calculated based on the average annual per capita costs for all Medicare benefits. - Enrollment and coverage periods would be coordinated with the Affordable Care Act's health insurance exchanges and Medicare Advantage/Part D plans. - Enrollees would be eligible for Affordable Care Act premium subsidies and cost-sharing reductions, but would not be eligible for Medicaid cost-sharing assistance. - The bill includes provisions for outreach, education, and enrollment assistance, funded through Congressional appropriations.
