Urges better healthcare access for immigrants and those in federal custody

This resolution would have the House of Representatives affirm that immigrant rights and reproductive healthcare are connected. It would call on Congress to remove barriers that stop immigrants from getting federal health programs like Medicaid. It also urges federal agencies to improve healthcare for immigrants, especially pregnant individuals and youth, in custody.

What Would Change

Today, millions of immigrants often face barriers to healthcare, including reproductive care, and those in federal custody may receive inadequate care. If this resolution passes, the House would officially state its support for better healthcare access for immigrants and call on Congress and federal agencies to remove these barriers and improve care, especially for pregnant individuals and youth in custody.
