HB 807 expands Medicaid eligibility in Texas under the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. It mandates the Health and Human Services Commission to provide medical assistance to all eligible individuals and to report annually on the expansion's impact on uninsured rates, state and local healthcare costs, and hospital uncompensated care. The Act is contingent on voter approval of a related constitutional amendment and takes effect on January 1, 2026.
