Medicaid Equal Standards Act

This bill would require states to apply an asset (resources) test to people who qualify for Medicaid under the expansion group. Starting in 2029, an applicant or enrollee in that group with countable resources above $10,000 ($20,000 if married) could not receive Medicaid. The limit would be adjusted for inflation every four years beginning in 2033. States could choose a lower limit or count additional resources, and the federal government could not deny those choices. The test would apply when a person first applies and at each eligibility renewal.
