No Medicaid for Illegals Act

# No Medicaid for Illegals Act (HR 4209) — Summary **What the bill would do:** This bill would prohibit states from using federal Medicaid funds to provide healthcare services to individuals who are not legally present in the United States. Currently, federal law already restricts most Medicaid benefits for undocumented immigrants, with limited exceptions for emergency care and a few other services. This bill would tighten those restrictions further by preventing states from using any federal Medicaid dollars for this population, even in emergency situations. **Who it affects:** The bill would primarily impact undocumented immigrants who currently receive emergency medical care through Medicaid.

It would also affect states (particularly those that use state funds to supplement Medicaid coverage for undocumented immigrants) and hospitals that provide emergency care to uninsured undocumented immigrants. Healthcare providers and state budgets could be affected as well. **Current status:** As of now, the bill remains in committee and has not advanced further in the legislative process. This means it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives.
