This bill would prohibit federal Medicaid funding from being used to pay for gun violence prevention or intervention programs. The legislation amends the Social Security Act to add a new restriction on what Medicaid dollars can cover, specifically barring federal financial participation in any programs designed to prevent or intervene in gun violence. The bill affects states that receive federal Medicaid funding, as they would no longer be able to use those federal dollars for such programs, though states could theoretically fund these initiatives with their own money. The legislation was introduced in December 2024 by a group of House Republicans and referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce. No specific funding amounts or implementation timelines are specified in the bill text.
