Bill information
Summary
A bill to amend title XIX of the Social Security Act to prohibit Federal Medicaid funding for the administrative costs of providing health benefits to individuals who are unauthorized immigrants.
Plain-language summary
This bill would change the Medicaid program, which provides health coverage for low-income Americans, by blocking federal money from paying for administrative costs when serving people who are in the U.S. without legal permission. Administrative costs include things like processing paperwork, managing eligibility, and running offices. Currently, federal Medicaid funding covers these costs for all beneficiaries regardless of immigration status. The bill is in the early stage of the legislative process, having just been introduced in Congress.
