Bridge to Medicaid Act of 2025
HR 3257, the Bridge to Medicaid Act of 2025, would make healthcare more affordable for low-income Americans by reducing out-of-pocket costs for individuals with household incomes at or below 138% of the federal poverty level. The bill extends cost-sharing reductions through 2028, creates special enrollment periods for eligible low-income individuals, and provides additional benefits including non-emergency medical transportation services. It also temporarily expands premium tax credits for 2026-2028 and increases federal Medicaid funding for newly eligible individuals through 2029. The legislation aims to improve access to healthcare for millions of Americans who face financial barriers to coverage.
