AI Summary
This bill aims to ensure continued health insurance coverage for children. It proposes to amend the General Laws of Massachusetts to require the Executive Office of Health and Human Services to provide coverage to eligible children and adolescents from birth through age 18, as well as to pregnant women, regardless of the availability of federal funding under Title XXI of the Social Security Act. The bill also directs the Executive Office to seek to maximize federal financial participation in the program through the Medicaid demonstration project under Title XIX or, if available, under the authority of Title XXI.
