Bill > SB0077

This bill enacts a new section to expand Medicaid eligibility in Utah to include the "optional Medicaid expansion population" as defined by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, commonly known as PPACA, which is a federal law that made significant changes to health insurance coverage. This expansion will be implemented by amending the state's Medicaid plan and will automatically be repealed if Congress takes action that reduces the federal funding for this expanded population beyond certain specified limits. Additionally, this bill repeals an existing section of law related to optional Medicaid expansion, indicating a shift in how this program is managed.
