The Medicaid Statehouse Bill
Medicaid rule blocking bill introduced in statehouse
Ensuring Medicaid Eligibility Act of 2025
Bad for everyday people ·
If passed, the bill would stop a new rule that would make signing up for Medicaid and CHIP faster, keeping the current slower process.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Citizens could keep waiting longer for health coverage, while insurers and administrators avoid the cost of updating their systems; now is the time to speak up before the rule is blocked.
