Ending Medicaid Discrimination Against the Most Vulnerable Act

This bill phases out enhanced federal funding for Medicaid in states that expanded coverage under the Affordable Care Act. It gradually reduces the federal share of Medicaid costs for states that expanded coverage, decreasing the percentage each year from 2027 through 2034 before returning to standard funding levels after 2035. The change directly affects low-income residents in expansion states who rely on Medicaid, as states will pay more for their coverage over time. Non-expansion states (those that haven't expanded Medicaid) are exempt from these reductions, and expansion states can choose to limit coverage to individuals at or below 100% of the federal poverty line to maintain the higher federal funding rate.
