Senator Kim says MediKids would automatically enroll every child at birth and provide continuous eligibility until age 26.
Assessments
Kim materially supported the promise by sponsoring S. 5037, the MediKids Act, in the 119th Congress, and the bill matches the promised policy of automatic health coverage from birth through age 26. However, the bill has only been introduced and referred to the Senate Finance Committee; there is no evidence that it passed Congress or became law. Because the promised outcome was passage, this is a serious same-term legislative effort but not delivery.
