This bill would stop states from using Medicaid to provide most medical care to people who are not lawfully in the United States. It would require state Medicaid programs, including waiver programs, to deny medical assistance to undocumented immigrants and other people who are not legally admitted for permanent residence or otherwise allowed to live in the country under federal law. The bill would still allow the limited types of care that current law already covers in certain cases, such as some emergency-related services.
- It would change the Medicaid rules that states must follow as a condition of running their programs.
- States would be prohibited from giving Medicaid medical assistance to people who are not lawfully admitted for permanent residence or otherwise permanently residing in the U.S. under color of law.
- The restriction would apply both to regular Medicaid plans and to Medicaid waivers.
- The bill would keep in place any medical assistance that is already allowed under the specific federal exception for certain covered services.
