Specifies that children diagnosed with certain conditions shall be eligible for MO HealthNet benefits

Summary

The bill replaces the current MO HealthNet eligibility rules with new categories that let more children—especially those ages 1‑6 and 6‑19—qualify for benefits at higher income limits, and it adds coverage for pregnant women, newborns and infants. It raises the income thresholds to up to 133% of the federal poverty level for younger children and removes resource tests for these groups. The measure did not pass.
