The Medicaid Income Bill
Medicaid income rules get equal treatment in Vermont
An act relating to income eligibility parity for certain Medicaid programs
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
If passed, the bill would make income rules the same for some Medicaid programs, so more people could qualify.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
This could help low‑income families get the health care they need, but it might cost the state more money, so voters should watch the budget impact.
