AI Summary

This bill seeks to establish a second tier of the Covered Connecticut program to provide health care benefits at a reduced cost to persons whose income does not exceed 300% of the federal poverty level. It requires the Commissioner of Social Services to amend the existing Medicaid waiver to provide coverage through the Covered Connecticut program to persons whose income does not exceed 200% of the federal poverty level. Additionally, the bill directs the Commissioner to develop a plan for a second tier of the program to cover individuals whose income exceeds 200% but does not exceed 300% of the federal poverty level. The plan may include reduced benefits and income-based copayments, and it must be approved by the joint standing committees of the General Assembly before implementation.
