HB 72 would expand Medicaid eligibility in Texas under the federal Affordable Care Act. It mandates that the Health and Human Services Commission provide Medicaid to all eligible individuals for whom federal matching funds are available. Implementation is contingent on voter approval of a constitutional amendment and includes reporting requirements on impacts such as cost savings, insurance coverage, and uncompensated care.
