Proposed Medicaid Federal Match Penalty for States that Have Expanded Coverage for Immigrants: State-by-State Estimates

Proposed Medicaid Federal Match Penalty for States that Have Expanded Coverage for Immigrants: State-by-State Estimates

The House reconciliation bill will significantly reduce federal Medicaid spending, expand the number of uninsured and penalise states that enhance coverage for immigrants, as per the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). The penalty could also potentially apply to states covering lawfully residing immigrants through other pathways. The CBO predicts $11 billion federal savings between 2025 and 2034. States may need to supplement the loss of federal funds by increasing state tax revenue or decreasing non-Medicaid spending, such as on education.
