An Act to address the financial sustainability of the Health Safety Net

Summary

The bill raises the minimum annual transfer to the Health Safety Net Trust Fund from $30 million to $60 million and creates a new “supplemental shortfall assessment” that charges non‑Medicaid managed‑care organizations 50 % of any projected revenue gap. It directs the executive office to estimate shortfalls each year and to collect the assessment monthly. The changes aim to keep the fund solvent for hospitals and community health centers.
