Maryland Helping Everyone Afford Life-Saving Treatments and Health Care (HEALTH) Fund - Establishment

Summary

The bill establishes the Maryland Helping Everyone Afford Life‑Saving Treatments and Health Care (HEALTH) Fund, a permanent special fund that will cover health‑care costs for Medicaid enrollees, insured and uninsured Marylanders when those services are limited by federal law. It directs several revenue streams—including abandoned‑property proceeds, a premium tax, and credits from an existing abortion‑care training fund—into the new fund. The measure aims to reduce financial barriers to essential health care for the state’s most vulnerable populations.
