A bill to prohibit changes to Medicare and Medicaid in reconciliation.

S. 1903 would restrict the legislative process that Congress can use to modify Medicare and Medicaid. Specifically, the bill would prevent changes to these two major health insurance programs from being included in reconciliation bills, which are a special type of legislation that requires only a simple majority vote in the Senate rather than the 60 votes typically needed to overcome a filibuster.

If enacted, this bill would make it more difficult for Congress to pass legislation that alters Medicare or Medicaid benefits, eligibility, or funding. Any future changes to these programs would need to go through the standard legislative process, which generally requires broader bipartisan support. The bill is currently in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full Senate.
