Summary of Bill S 2374

Bill 118 s 2374, also known as the No Obamacare for Illegal Aliens Act, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress. The main purpose of this bill is to prevent undocumented immigrants from receiving benefits under the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.

If passed, this bill would require individuals to provide proof of citizenship or legal residency in order to be eligible for any benefits or subsidies provided under the Affordable Care Act. This would effectively exclude undocumented immigrants from accessing healthcare coverage through the federal government.

Supporters of the bill argue that it is important to ensure that taxpayer-funded benefits are only available to those who are legally residing in the United States. They believe that allowing undocumented immigrants to access healthcare benefits would be unfair to American citizens and legal residents. Opponents of the bill argue that denying healthcare coverage to undocumented immigrants could have negative consequences for public health, as these individuals may be less likely to seek medical treatment when needed. They also argue that healthcare is a basic human right that should be available to all individuals, regardless of their immigration status. Overall, the No Obamacare for Illegal Aliens Act is a controversial piece of legislation that raises important questions about healthcare access for undocumented immigrants in the United States. It is currently being debated in Congress, and its future remains uncertain.
