Community Multi-Share Coverage Program Act of 2026

This bill would require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to award 3 to 5 four-year grants, within 180 days of enactment, to nonprofit groups running Community Multi-Share Coverage programs. These programs would give health coverage to workers at small businesses whose household income is above their state's Medicaid limit but no more than 400 percent of the federal poverty line, and who cannot get coverage through a federal health program. Coverage would include doctor, hospital, behavioral health, prescription drug, and emergency services with no deductible, plus health coaching and individual plans tied to job training and community resources. Costs would be shared by government, local health care providers, enrollees, and employers. The bill authorizes $4.8 million for 2026, $7.2 million for 2027, and $12 million each for 2028 and 2029.
