Summary
The bill would have the state apply for a federal waiver so that children enrolled in Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program keep coverage from birth until age six, even if their family’s income changes. Coverage would only end if the child moves out of state, a parent requests termination, the child dies, or fraud is discovered. The measure failed to pass.
