This resolution expresses Congress's view that Medicaid is a critical health insurance program for millions of Americans, particularly older adults, people with disabilities, and low-income families. The resolution acknowledges recent federal actions that will significantly affect the program, including nearly $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid over 10 years under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act signed in July 2025, elimination of healthcare tax credits in January 2026, and new eligibility rules and paperwork requirements taking effect in the fall of 2026 and January 2027. The Congressional Budget Office projects that 10 million Americans will lose health coverage as a result of these cuts. The resolution urges the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to work immediately with state Medicaid programs to issue guidance on how these funding reductions and new rules will impact states and their enrollees. This is a non-binding resolution that does not change law or allocate funding, but rather states the House's position on the importance of Medicaid and concern about the impacts of recent cuts.
