Texas HB891 proposes a "Texas solution" to reforming Medicaid, including creating an alternative program for low-income individuals to obtain health.

Texas HB891 aims to reform the Medicaid program by establishing an alternative program to ensure health benefit plan coverage for certain low-income individuals through the private marketplace. It requires a fee for parents of children receiving long-term services and supports. The bill also mandates the Health and Human Services Commission to develop a comprehensive plan to reform the delivery of long-term services and supports, aiming to encourage consumer direction, improve cost-effectiveness, and reduce reliance on institutional settings.
