This bill proposes the “South Carolina Medicaid Buy-in Act”, aiming to establish a Medicaid buy-in program in South Carolina. The program would provide quality, affordable health insurance to specific state residents who are currently ineligible for Medicaid, Medicare, or advanced premium tax credits under the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, and whose employers haven’t unenrolled or denied them in employer-sponsored health insurance coverage on the basis that the resident would otherwise qualify for enrollment in Medicaid buy-in coverage.
