HB1349 would provide Medicaid coverage to income-qualified pregnant persons and children in Hawaii regardless of immigration status.

HB1349 aims to address the issue of limited access to affordable health care for pregnant persons and their newborn children due to immigration status. The bill appropriates funds to the Department of Human Services to authorize Medicaid coverage through the Children's Health Insurance Program for income-qualified pregnant persons and children who are otherwise ineligible due to their immigration status. This initiative seeks to reduce barriers and increase access to health care for resident immigrant populations in the state.
