Bridge to Medicaid Act of 2024
The Bridge to Medicaid Act of 2024 expands health insurance affordability for low-income individuals with household incomes at or below 138% of the federal poverty level. It reduces cost-sharing for these individuals in qualified health plans during 2026-2028, creates special enrollment periods for those without minimum essential coverage, and provides additional benefits like non-emergency medical transportation for silver-level plan enrollees in 2027-2028. The bill temporarily expands premium tax credits for low-income individuals in 2026-2028 and increases federal Medicaid funding for states to 93% for 2026-2028. It also includes $105 million for outreach and education to help low-income individuals understand their coverage options and eligibility for assistance.
