Bill overview
This bill, the States Achieve Medicaid Expansion Act of 2021 (SAME Act), aims to encourage more states to expand Medicaid coverage by offering a consistent, enhanced federal matching rate. Currently, the federal government provides a higher match rate for states that expand Medicaid, but this rate decreases over time. This bill would maintain a high match rate for states that expand Medicaid, based on a longer period of providing assistance, and apply retroactively to previous expansion efforts.
