SB 289 creates a "Texas solution" to reform Medicaid, incorporating block grant funding and private marketplace solutions. It establishes a risk-based Medicaid managed care model, sliding scale subsidies for private health plan premiums, and health savings accounts. It emphasizes efficiency, cost-sharing, and consumer direction, alongside developing a parallel program for low-income individuals not eligible for Medicaid.
