Sen. Rosen Introduces Bill to Block Federal Funds for Trump Legal Settlements and Boost Medicaid
The Senate Judiciary Committee received this bill on June 8, 2026, and it has not moved since that date. The committee must now decide whether to hold a vote or discuss the proposal further. Most bills like this do not receive a committee vote and do not move forward in the legislative process.
This bill is a direct challenge to the current administration and its legal funds. Since it was introduced by a member of the opposing party, it is unlikely to pass a divided or Republican-controlled Congress.

The bill would send $1.776 billion to Medicaid and attempt to reverse eligibility and funding cuts enacted through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. If passed, this could restore coverage for people who recently lost Medicaid access or faced reduced benefits due to those cuts. However, as a minority-party bill in committee, passage is extremely unlikely in the current Congress.
“there is appropriated to the Secretary of Health and Human Services $1,776,000,000, to address health care costs through funding for the Medicaid program under title XIX of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396 et seq.), including funding to eliminate the funding and eligibility cuts enacted in Public Law 119-21”
