Protecting Medicaid Health Data from Immigration Enforcement
This act aims to protect the privacy of medical data for individuals using the Medicaid program. It prohibits the sharing of this information with immigration enforcement agencies, such as ICE, for immigration enforcement purposes. This ensures citizens can feel more secure, knowing their sensitive health data will not be used for non-medical reasons.
