For legislation to ensure continued health insurance coverage for certain children. Children, Families and Persons with Disabilities.
AI Summary
This bill ensures that eligible children and adolescents from birth up to age 18, as well as pregnant women, will continue to receive health insurance coverage, even if federal funding under Title XXI of the Social Security Act (which provides funding for state children's health insurance programs) is unavailable. The Executive Office of Health and Human Services is directed to provide this coverage, while still aiming to secure as much federal funding as possible through existing programs like Title XIX (Medicaid) or Title XXI demonstration projects.
