"The One Big Beautiful Bill obviously covers a lot of different legislation, and within it, there was a section that recategorized who is eligible based on immigrant status for a handful of programs, and that was specifically Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP (Children's Health Insurance Program), SNAP, and marketplace subsidies," Thomas said.

Just before breaking for the July Fourth recess, Congress passed a massive new tax law with the kind of name only Washington could come up with: “The One Big Beautiful Bill.”
