Bill > HR7014

This bill, titled the "Protect Medicaid Act," aims to prohibit the use of federal Medicaid funding for the administrative costs of providing health benefits to individuals who are unauthorized immigrants. Specifically, the bill amends the Social Security Act to add a new provision that prevents Medicaid payments for the administration of state programs that provide health benefits to non-citizens who are not lawfully admitted permanent residents and are ineligible for Medicaid due to their immigration status. The bill also requires the Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services to submit a report to Congress providing information on how states finance and administer these programs for ineligible non-citizens, including details on their use of provider taxes, intergovernmental transfers, and the provision of outpatient drugs purchased through the Medicaid Drug Rebate Program or the 340B drug discount program.
