Key Points

This bill, introduced in Congress, would stop people on the sex offender registry from getting federal money to help pay for their health insurance.
It targets the tax credits that many people use to make their monthly health insurance payments cheaper. If someone is a registered sex offender, they would no longer qualify for this discount.
The plan also changes Medicaid, the government program that provides health coverage to people with low incomes. It would stop the federal government from paying for a sex offender's Medicaid costs.
Under this bill, individual states would also be given the power to decide if they want to deny health care coverage to sex offenders entirely.
These rules would apply to anyone listed as a sex offender under a 2006 federal law. If passed, the changes would start for the tax year the bill becomes law and for any new Medicaid sign-ups.
