Bill overview
The Cover Outstanding Vulnerable Expansion-eligible Residents Now Act (COVER Now Act) establishes a demonstration program allowing local governments in states that haven’t expanded Medicaid to provide health benefits to newly eligible residents. This program would offer coverage for up to 10 years, with initial 100% federal matching for the first three years, and aims to protect local governments from state-level restrictions. The bill also includes provisions to ensure equitable payments and prevent states from hindering participating localities.
