Bill overview
This bill, the Humane Correctional Health Care Act, amends federal law to ensure that incarcerated individuals receive consistent healthcare coverage under Medicaid. Specifically, it removes a longstanding exclusion that prevented Medicaid from covering inmates, and requires states to provide healthcare to inmates under 65. The bill also directs the Government Accountability Office to regularly report on the health of inmates, access to care, and the impact of these changes on recidivism and community health services.
