End Medicaid for most undocumented immigrants
If enacted, states would be barred from giving Medicaid to people who are not lawful permanent residents and not "permanently residing under color of law." The ban would apply to state Medicaid plans and to waivers. Emergency treatment would still be payable under the existing emergency Medicaid rule (section 1903(v)(2)). It would override a conflicting rule in section 1903(v)(4). It would not change coverage for U.S. citizens or people who are lawfully present.
