State-Based Universal Health Care Act of 2023

This bill creates a framework for states to develop their own universal health care systems by applying for waivers from certain federal health care requirements. States must demonstrate they can provide comprehensive coverage meeting or exceeding current federal standards (like Medicaid, Medicare, and CHIP) for at least 95% of residents within 5 years, with the federal government redirecting funds that would have gone to federal programs to support state systems. States must include specific protections like reproductive health care coverage and submit regular reports on coverage rates, affordability, and quality. The bill includes special provisions to protect Indian health care services and ensure they remain accessible under state plans. States that fail to meet coverage goals may face consequences, including potential termination of their waiver.
