Bill 118 H.Res. 122, also known as the Expressing support for States to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act to close the Medicaid coverage gap, is a resolution introduced in the US Congress. The purpose of this resolution is to encourage states to expand their Medicaid programs under the Affordable Care Act in order to provide coverage for individuals who fall into the Medicaid coverage gap.The Medicaid coverage gap refers to individuals who do not qualify for traditional Medicaid coverage, but also do not qualify for subsidies to purchase health insurance through the Health Insurance Marketplace. This leaves many low-income individuals without access to affordable healthcare coverage.
The resolution acknowledges that expanding Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act would provide coverage for millions of Americans who are currently uninsured. It also recognizes the financial benefits of expanding Medicaid, as it would bring in federal funding to help cover the costs of providing healthcare to low-income individuals. The resolution does not mandate states to expand their Medicaid programs, but rather expresses support for states that choose to do so. It highlights the importance of closing the Medicaid coverage gap and ensuring that all Americans have access to affordable healthcare. Overall, Bill 118 H.Res. 122 is a non-partisan resolution that aims to address the issue of the Medicaid coverage gap and encourage states to expand their Medicaid programs under the Affordable Care Act.
