Bill overview
The Cover Now Act establishes a demonstration program allowing local governments in states that haven't expanded Medicaid to provide health benefits to eligible residents. This program would offer coverage for up to 10 years, or until the state expands Medicaid, with a 100% federal matching rate for the first three years. The bill aims to extend healthcare access to vulnerable populations in states that have not yet adopted Medicaid expansion, while also including provisions to protect participating localities from state-level restrictions and penalties.
