HB 134 by Bernal: Expanding Services that Qualify Under Medicaid

HB 134 seeks to require Medicaid and the child health plan program to cover the full cost of cranial remolding orthosis for children with certain diagnoses. By expanding the list of services that qualify under Medicaid, the burden on Texas taxpayers continues to grow. Instead, we favor a policy that provides a free enterprise solution to Medicaid, not growing taxpayer dependence on government healthcare. Lawmakers should spend their time reducing Medicaid and offering free market solutions by lowering regulation on the medical industry, not expanding socialist programs.
