Bill > HRes826

This Resolution expresses the House of Representatives' disapproval of actions taken by the Trump administration that are seen as harmful to Medicaid, a program providing health coverage to millions of Americans, including children, seniors, people with disabilities, and those with mental health or substance use disorders. Specifically, it calls for the immediate withdrawal of guidance issued by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) that allows states to apply for capped block grants through Medicaid demonstration waivers. These waivers, particularly for covering adults under 65 who gained coverage through Medicaid expansion, are criticized for potentially putting state programs at risk, limiting access to care, and allowing states to restrict services like prescription drugs. The resolution argues that these actions undermine the program and threaten the care of millions who depend on it, contradicting campaign promises to protect Medicaid.
