Plain-English Summary

This bill would prevent people who are in the country illegally from receiving Medicaid benefits, the government health insurance program for low-income Americans. The change would affect both newly arriving immigrants and those already living in the U.S. without legal status, potentially reducing their access to doctor visits, hospital care, and prescription medications.
