Bill overview
This bill, the Humane Correctional Health Care Act, aims to improve healthcare access for incarcerated individuals by amending federal law to ensure they are covered under Medicaid, similar to how other adults are. It removes a previous restriction that excluded incarcerated individuals from Medicaid coverage and requires the Government Accountability Office to regularly report on the health of inmates, access to care, and the impact of these changes. The bill also encourages states to invest in community-based healthcare services alongside correctional healthcare.
