It is the sense of the Congress that— the maintenance of effort provisions added to sections 1902 and 2105(d) of the Social Security Act ( 42 U.S.C. 1396a ; 42 U.S.C. 1397ee(d) ) by sections 2001(b) and 2101(b) of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act were intended to maintain the eligibility standards for the Medicaid program under title XIX of the Social Security Act ( 42 U.S.C. 1396 et seq.) and Children’s Health Insurance Program under title XXI of such Act ( 42 U.S.C. 1397aa et seq.) until the American Health Benefit Exchanges in the States are fully operational; it is imperative that the maintenance of effort provisions are enforced to the strict standard intended by the Congress through September 30, 2027; waiving the maintenance of effort provisions should not be permitted; the maintenance of effort provisions ensure the continued success of the Medicaid program and Children’s Health Insurance Program and were intended to specifically protect vulnerable and disabled adults, children, and senior citizens, many of whom are also members of communities of color; and the maintenance of effort provisions must be strictly enforced and proposals to weaken the maintenance of effort provisions must not be considered.
