H.R. 9623: Protecting Americans’ Health Care Act of 2026

This bill would repeal the Medicaid-related parts of a previously enacted law, Public Law 119-21, and restore the affected laws to how they were before that Medicaid chapter was passed.

What it would do

• It would remove the Medicaid-related provisions contained in chapter 1 of subtitle B of title VII of Public Law 119-21.
• It would also undo the legal changes made by those provisions, so the prior version of the law would apply again as if that chapter had never been enacted.
• The bill does not itself create a new Medicaid program or set new Medicaid rules; its main effect is to reverse earlier Medicaid-related changes.

Practical effect

If enacted, the bill would change federal law by eliminating the Medicaid-related modifications from the earlier reconciliation law. The exact real-world impact would depend on what those repealed Medicaid provisions required, but in general this kind of bill would aim to return Medicaid policy to the legal status that existed before those changes took effect.
