                               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.
