HOUSE BILL 419
Medicaid expansion, conditions
MEDICAID – Amends existing law to require certain federal waivers for continued Medicaid Expansion eligibility.
RS30959 / H0419
This legislation requires that several program integrity and cost-saving measures be implemented in Medicaid as a condition for the continued expansion of eligibility to able-bodied adults under the Affordable Care Act for the purpose of prioritizing Medicaid resources for the truly needy, moving able-bodied Medicaid enrollees into affordable and private coverage with greater access to healthcare, and reducing overall program spending. These conditions include a work requirement and enrollment caps for able-bodied adults and a requirement that the improper payment rate in Medicaid be reduced to 5 percent or less.
