2.] Parents and guardians of uninsured children with incomes between [two hundred twenty-six] one hundred fifty-one and three hundred percent of the federal poverty level who do not have access to affordable employer- sponsored health care insurance or other affordable health care coverage may obtain coverage pursuant to this [subsection] section. For the purposes of sections 208.631 to 208.657, “affordable employer-sponsored health care insurance or other affordable health care coverage” refers to health insurance requiring a monthly premium less than or equal to one hundred thirty-three percent of the monthly average premium required in the state's current Missouri consolidated health care plan. The parents and guardians of eligible uninsured children pursuant to this [subsection] section are responsible [for co-payments equal to the average co-payments required in the current Missouri consolidated health care plan rounded to the nearest dollar, and] a monthly premium equal to the average premium required for the Missouri consolidated health care plan; provided that the total aggregate cost sharing for a family covered by these sections shall not exceed five percent of such family's income for the years involved. No
co-payments or other cost sharing is permitted with respect to benefits for well-baby and well-child care including age-appropriate immunizations. Cost-sharing provisions pursuant to sections 208.631 to 208.657 shall not exceed the limits established by 42 U.S.C. Section 1397cc(e).”; and
Further amend the title and enacting clause accordingly.
