AI Summary
This bill directs the commissioner of finance and administration to request a waiver from the federal government, specifically the Department of Health and Human Services, by July 1, 2015, to expand eligibility for TennCare, which is Tennessee's Medicaid program, to veterans. This expansion would be based on income and would leverage provisions within the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Pub. L. 111-148), commonly known as Obamacare, to allow more veterans to qualify for medical assistance. A veteran is defined in this context as someone who served in the uniformed services and was honorably discharged.
