Medicaid; expand eligibility under federal Affordable Care Act.

HB 132 would expand Mississippi's Medicaid program to cover non-pregnant adults under 65 who are not enrolled in Medicare and have incomes at or below 133% of the federal poverty level. This change would directly affect low-income adults in Mississippi who currently lack Medicaid eligibility under existing state rules. The bill amends Mississippi Code Section 43-13-115 to add this new eligibility category, aligning with federal Medicaid expansion provisions authorized by the Affordable Care Act. The expansion would provide health insurance coverage to this group, which was previously excluded from Mississippi's Medicaid program.
