To prohibit the Secretary of Health and Human Services from finalizing a rule proposed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services with respect to the determination of whether an individual is lawfully present in the United States for purposes of the eligibility of such individual for enrollment in certain health insurance programs.

Bill 118 hr 5336, also known as the "Prohibition of CMS Rule on Determination of Lawful Presence Act," aims to prevent the Secretary of Health and Human Services from implementing a proposed rule by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) regarding the determination of an individual's lawful presence in the United States for the purpose of enrolling in certain health insurance programs.

The bill seeks to block the CMS rule that would establish new criteria for determining whether an individual is lawfully present in the US, which could potentially impact their eligibility for enrollment in health insurance programs. The bill is designed to protect individuals who may be at risk of losing access to essential healthcare services due to changes in the determination of lawful presence.

If passed, this legislation would prevent the Secretary of Health and Human Services from finalizing the proposed rule by CMS, ensuring that individuals can continue to enroll in health insurance programs without facing additional barriers related to their immigration status. This bill is important for ensuring that all individuals have access to healthcare services regardless of their immigration status.
