Summary of Bill HR 10299

Bill 118 hr 10299 aims to make changes to title XIX of the Social Security Act in order to prevent Federal funding from being used for gun violence prevention or intervention programs through the Medicaid program. This means that any programs or initiatives related to addressing gun violence would not be eligible for financial support from the Federal government through Medicaid.

The bill is designed to restrict the use of Medicaid funds specifically for gun violence prevention efforts, which could include initiatives such as community outreach programs, mental health services, or violence intervention programs. By prohibiting Federal financial participation in these programs, the bill seeks to limit the government's involvement in addressing gun violence through Medicaid.

It is important to note that this bill does not necessarily prevent states or other entities from funding gun violence prevention programs on their own. However, it does restrict the use of Federal funds for these purposes under the Medicaid program. Overall, Bill 118 hr 10299 represents a significant shift in government policy regarding the funding of gun violence prevention efforts through Medicaid. It will be important to monitor the progress of this bill and any potential impacts it may have on efforts to address gun violence in the United States.
