AI Summary

This bill would expand Medicaid eligibility in Mississippi to include individuals under 65 years old who are not pregnant, not enrolled in Medicare, and whose income does not exceed 133% of the federal poverty level, as allowed under the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). The bill would also require Medicaid to cover essential health benefits for this new eligibility group, but this expanded coverage would only continue as long as the federal government's Medicaid matching rate for the ACA expansion population is at least 90%. The bill's provisions related to the ACA Medicaid expansion would be repealed on December 31, 2026.
