Original Note:
Illegal immigrants are already ineligible for Medicaid. https://www.kff.org/racial-equity-and-health-policy/issue-brief/5-key-facts-about-immigrants-and-medicaid/ Some states offer Medicaid-like coverage to illegal immigrants, at the states' own expense. An earlier version of the bill would have punished those states, resulting in an estimated 1.4 million fewer enrollees. https://www.factcheck.org/2025/05/a-false-claim-about-illegal-immigration-and-medicaid/
