Undocumented immigrants who currently receive Medicaid coverage through state-level expansions would lose their health insurance entirely. Several states, most notably California, have extended full Medicaid benefits to undocumented residents using state funds and waivers. This bill would prohibit those programs, cutting off non-emergency health coverage for hundreds of thousands of people who rely on it for routine care, prescriptions, and chronic disease management.
“provide that no medical assistance (other than such assistance for which payment is available pursuant to section 1903(v)(2)) is made available under such plan (or under a waiver of such plan) to an alien who is not lawfully admitted for permanent residence or otherwise permanently residing in the United States under color of law.”
