                               RESOLUTION

Expressing the sense of Congress that Medicaid is an important lifeline
             for the health care of millions of Americans.

Whereas the Federal Medicaid program was established on July 30, 1965, when
        President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Social Security Amendments of
        1965 into law;
Whereas it was designed as a cooperative Federal-State program to provide health
        insurance for individuals with limited income;
Whereas Medicaid has protected the health care of millions of American families,
        saved lives, and improved the economic security of the Nation;
Whereas Medicaid continues to be a vital lifeline for older adults, people with
        disabilities, and low-income families;
Whereas all 50 States use the program to deliver better health outcomes for
        their residents;
Whereas the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services administers the program;
Whereas, on July 4, 2025, President Donald J. Trump signed into law the One Big
        Beautiful Bill Act, H.R. 1, which makes nearly $1,000,000,000,000 worth
        of cuts to the Federal Medicaid program over 10 years;
Whereas, on January 1, 2026, Affordable Care Act Enhanced Premium Tax Credits
        were eliminated;
Whereas, on October 1, 2026, new Federal Medicaid eligibility rules will take
        effect for certain immigration statuses;
Whereas, on January 1, 2027, new paperwork requirements for Federal Medicaid
        will take effect for certain adult enrollees;
Whereas the Congressional Budget Office projects 10,000,000 Americans will lose
        their health care due to the health care cuts under H.R. 1; and
Whereas these cuts will have devastating consequences on the health, well-being,
        and economic security of the United States: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives strongly urges the
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to immediately work with State
Medicaid programs to issue guidance following a determination on how
the funding cuts and new requirements under H.R. 1 will impact State
Medicaid agencies and enrollees.
