No cosponsors on record. Bills can pass without cosponsors — this often means the sponsor introduced the bill alone, either because it's a messaging bill, a chairman's mark, or simply early in the legislative cycle.

Referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committee on Ways and Means, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.

This bill would undo changes to Medicaid that were made as part of a major 2021 healthcare and tax law, potentially affecting millions of low-income Americans who rely on the program for health insurance coverage. The specific changes being reversed would need to be determined through the legislative process, but the bill targets provisions that expanded or modified how Medicaid operates. The proposal is currently being reviewed by two congressional committees that handle healthcare and tax matters.
