Next Steps

The bill will be considered by the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. The next steps could include committee hearings, revisions to the bill, and a vote by the committee to advance it to the full House of Representatives for consideration.

Social Impact

The bill's passage would likely result in reduced access to healthcare for undocumented immigrants, potentially leading to negative health outcomes for this population. It may also spark social and political debate around immigration and healthcare access.

Financial Impact

The bill may reduce state Medicaid spending by excluding undocumented immigrants from the program. However, it could also lead to increased costs associated with uncompensated care for those who would have otherwise received Medicaid benefits. The overall financial impact would depend on the number of affected individuals and the costs of alternative care options.
