H.R. 7817: No Federal Tax Dollars for Illegal Aliens Health Insurance Act of 2026

This bill, titled the "No Federal Tax Dollars for Illegal Aliens Health Insurance Act of 2026," proposes changes to the existing healthcare law known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). The key provisions of the bill are outlined below:

1. Enforcing Eligibility Requirements for Health Insurance Coverage

The bill seeks to restrict access to health insurance coverage funded by taxpayer dollars to only those individuals who are authorized, specifically citizens and certain legal residents. It aims to amend existing laws to clarify this point explicitly.

2. Prohibition of Funding for Unauthorized Individuals

It aims to amend a specific section of the ACA to state that no federal funds provided to states can be used to cover health insurance costs or any benefits for individuals who are not citizens, nationals, or legally present aliens in the United States. This aims to ensure taxpayer money is not being utilized for health insurance for unauthorized individuals.

3. Rescission of Waivers

The bill also includes a provision requiring the Secretary of Health and Human Services to rescind any waivers that have been granted under the ACA that would permit funding to individuals that do not meet the specified eligibility criteria. This must be done within 30 days of the bill's enactment.

Overall, the bill's primary focus is on ensuring that taxpayer funding for health insurance is limited to individuals who are authorized to be in the United States, thus eliminating access for those classified as illegal aliens.
