About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · May 16, 2024
Referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committee on Ways and Means, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
This resolution seeks to block a Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services rule that would allow DACA recipients and certain other noncitizens to purchase health insurance through the Affordable Care Act marketplace and receive federal subsidies to help pay premiums and reduce out-of-pocket costs. The rule, published in May 2024, would expand health insurance eligibility to these groups who were previously unable to access these federal programs. If approved, the resolution would nullify the rule entirely, preventing DACA recipients and affected noncitizens from obtaining subsidized health coverage through the exchanges or basic health programs. The resolution was introduced by a group of House Republicans and was referred to the Energy and Commerce and Ways and Means committees for consideration. This type of resolution uses the congressional disapproval process outlined in federal law, which allows Congress to overturn executive branch regulations.
