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.
