Bill Summary
A BILL To amend title XIX of the Social Security Act to prohibit States from making medical assistance available to certain individuals under the Medicaid program.
AI Summary
This bill, titled the "No Medicaid for Illegal Immigrants Act of 2025", seeks to amend the Social Security Act to prohibit states from providing Medicaid medical assistance to individuals who are not lawfully admitted for permanent residence or permanently residing in the United States under color of law. Specifically, the bill modifies Section 1902(a) of the Social Security Act by adding a new paragraph that would restrict medical assistance to only those immigrants with legal status, with a narrow exception for emergency medical services for which federal payment is available. This means that undocumented immigrants would be ineligible for most Medicaid benefits, which currently provide health coverage for low-income individuals. The proposed change would significantly limit healthcare access for certain immigrant populations, potentially impacting their ability to receive non-emergency medical treatment through the Medicaid program.
