• Introduced by Rep. Jim Slezak (D) on March 26, 2009, to revise the Medicaid eligibility income and asset caps for individuals who are at less than 250 percent of the poverty rate. (Those with incomes of up to $75,000 for a household of one may pay a fee to obtain this government health care coverage – House Bill 4708 would revise those fees.) The bill would exclude money an individual receives from various government disability or unemployment benefit payments, and exclude various asset classes from being included in a $75,000 asset cap.
  • Referred to the House Family and Childrens Services Committee on March 26, 2009.
