Residents in U.S. territories would get better access to Medicare and Medicaid benefits.
This bill would make big changes to how Medicare and Medicaid work in U.S. territories like Puerto Rico and Guam. It would remove federal funding limits and make it easier for residents to get health coverage and financial help for medical costs. This would bring their benefits closer to those in the 50 states. It also creates a way for people in territories without health insurance marketplaces to get coverage.
Today, U.S. territories face federal funding caps and other limitations for their Medicaid and Medicare programs, often resulting in fewer benefits and higher costs for residents. If this bill becomes law, these funding limits would be removed, and residents would gain improved access to various Medicare and Medicaid benefits, including help with prescription drug costs and new options for health insurance coverage.
