Bill > HF1

This bill amends Minnesota's MinnesotaCare program to limit health care coverage for undocumented adult immigrants. Currently, MinnesotaCare provides health coverage to citizens, lawful noncitizens, and undocumented noncitizens with incomes up to 200% of the federal poverty guidelines. The bill introduces a provision that restricts MinnesotaCare enrollment for undocumented individuals aged 18 and older, effectively "freezing" coverage to only those already enrolled as of the bill's effective date. Starting January 1, 2026, undocumented adults will become ineligible for MinnesotaCare, which means they will lose their current health insurance coverage. The bill maintains existing coverage for undocumented children and families with U.S. citizen children, and does not affect emergency medical assistance. By limiting health care access for undocumented adults, the bill represents a significant change in Minnesota's approach to providing health coverage to immigrant populations, potentially leaving many without affordable health insurance options.
