No Medicaid for Illegal Immigrants Act of 2025

# No Medicaid for Illegal Immigrants Act of 2025 - Summary **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would prevent state Medicaid programs from paying for healthcare services for undocumented immigrants, with one exception: emergency medical services would still be covered as they are under current law. Currently, states have some flexibility in determining Medicaid eligibility, and some states do provide coverage to undocumented immigrants. This bill would eliminate that option nationwide. **Who It Affects** The legislation would primarily affect undocumented immigrants who rely on Medicaid for non-emergency healthcare, and states that currently cover these populations.

Healthcare providers, hospitals, and clinics that serve low-income patients would also be impacted, as would state budgets (since federal Medicaid funds would no longer cover these services in states that currently provide them). **Current Status** The bill is currently in committee and has not been passed. It was introduced in the 119th Congress by Representative Kevin Kiley (R-CA). Like most bills, it would need to pass through committee review, floor votes in both the House and Senate, and presidential approval to become law.
