HB 895 proposes the "Live Well Texas" program to expand Medicaid eligibility and provide health benefits to low-income residents. It establishes two health plans, the "basic plan" and the "plus plan," funded through federal assistance and state mechanisms. The program includes features to promote personal responsibility, self-sufficiency, and wellness, such as work incentives and POWER accounts. The legislation also integrates wraparound benefits for special populations and ensures coordination with existing Medicaid programs.
