Establishes the Texas Care Plan Medicaid buy-in program to provide health coverage to certain persons in Texas.

The Texas Care Plan Medicaid buy-in program, established by this bill, allows certain Texas residents to purchase health benefit plan coverage through Medicaid. The program targets individuals who lack access to or cannot afford employer-sponsored health coverage. It requires financial participation, with premiums based on a sliding scale according to household income. The Health and Human Services Commission will develop the program, which must be substantively identical to existing Medicaid buy-in programs, except for certain exceptions.
