No Federal Tax Dollars for Illegal Aliens Health Insurance Act of 2026

This bill changes the Affordable Care Act's state innovation waiver program, known as Section 1332 waivers. It would bar states from using these waivers to set aside the law's requirement on who may enroll in coverage through the health insurance marketplaces. That requirement is tied to citizenship or lawful immigration status. Federal 'pass-through' money paid to states under these waivers could not be used to lower health insurance costs or provide other benefits for people who are not U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, or lawfully present immigrants. Within 30 days after the bill becomes law, the Secretary of Health and Human Services would have to cancel any existing waiver that would not have been approved under these new rules.
