Have you heard of the following bills that just passed the Texas House: HB 290 by Rep. Philip Cortez, to support healthy kids, and HB 133 by Rep. Toni Rose, to support healthy moms?
HB 290 would reduce the number of kids who are mistakenly removed from their Medicaid health insurance due to inaccurate eligibility reviews that occur just a few months after kids are confirmed to be eligible. HB 133 would allow moms to keep their Medicaid health insurance for 12 months after childbirth, not just two months.
Hosts Eddie McBride and Kyle Jacobson sit down with Adriana D. Kohler, Policy Director, and Katie Mitten, Health Policy Associate both of Texans Care for Children to learn more about the bills and why they are important to both the health of the family and the business community.
