Bill > S3799

This bill, the Health Equity and Access under the Law for Immigrant Women and Families Act of 2020 (or the HEAL for Immigrant Women and Families Act of 2020), aims to expand access to health care services, including sexual, reproductive, and maternal health services, for immigrants by removing legal and policy barriers to health insurance coverage. The key provisions of the bill include: 1) extending Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) coverage to individuals who are lawfully present in the United States, including those granted deferred action or other federally authorized presence; 2) ensuring that all individuals with federally authorized presence are eligible for health insurance exchanges, reduced cost sharing, premium subsidies, and premium tax credits; and 3) removing citizenship and immigration-related barriers to accessing affordable health care under the Affordable Care Act, such as by expanding eligibility for premium tax credits, cost-sharing reductions, and the Basic Health Program.
