This bill would prohibit federal health insurance funding from being used to help undocumented immigrants pay for health coverage. It amends the Affordable Care Act to explicitly ban using federal dollars—including both direct funding and state pass-through funds—to reduce premiums, cost-sharing, or provide other health benefits to individuals who are not U.S. citizens or lawfully present aliens. The legislation also requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to rescind any previous waivers that would not have been approved under these new restrictions within 30 days of the bill becoming law. The bill affects undocumented immigrants seeking health coverage under the ACA and any states that may have previously received waivers allowing federal funds to support healthcare for this population. No new funding is authorized or appropriated by this legislation; instead, it reallocates or restricts existing funding streams already in the healthcare system.
