Bridge to Medicaid Act of 2024
The Bridge to Medicaid Act of 2024 (HR 9708) would provide healthcare affordability assistance to low-income individuals with household incomes at or below 138% of the federal poverty level. It would reduce out-of-pocket costs for these individuals in health insurance plans, create special enrollment periods for them, and provide additional benefits like non-emergency medical transportation in silver-level plans for 2026-2027. The bill also temporarily expands premium tax credits for these individuals and allocates $105 million for outreach and education about health insurance options. These changes would apply to plan years 2026 through 2028, with some provisions extending through 2029.
