Plain-English Summary

This bill would prohibit federal tax dollars from being used to pay for health insurance coverage for people who are in the country illegally, including through programs like Medicaid and subsidies for private insurance plans. The legislation would affect both undocumented immigrants seeking health coverage and the government agencies that administer these insurance programs. It is currently being reviewed by two House committees to determine whether it complies with budget and healthcare laws.
