Medicaid Funding Changes: Blocking Federal Money for Unauthorized Immigrant Health Administration.
This bill stops the use of federal Medicaid funds to cover the administrative costs of state programs that provide health benefits to individuals without satisfactory immigration status. States that continue these programs must cover all related administrative expenses solely with state funds, potentially impacting state budgets. The goal is to strictly separate federal and state funding for healthcare administration.
Key points
Prohibits using federal Medicaid dollars for the administrative overhead of providing health benefits to unauthorized immigrants.
Requires a federal report analyzing how states currently separate and finance the administrative costs of these specific health programs, including the use of discounted drugs.
