§ 03
SUMMARY
WHAT THIS CHANGES
This amendment tried to reduce federal Medicaid funding for states that provide health coverage to certain non-citizens who have been charged with or convicted of crimes. Because the amendment failed, federal funding levels for these state programs remain unchanged.
§ 04
KEY POINTS
3POINT 01
Funding Cut
States currently receive 90% of the cost for Medicaid expansion from the federal government; this would have lowered that to 80% for certain states.
POINT 02
Immigration Policy Link
The amendment sought to link federal healthcare funding to how states handle health benefits for non-citizens.
POINT 03
Procedural Failure
The amendment was blocked because it didn't meet the strict rules required for this type of budget bill.
