Protecting Health Care and Lowering Costs Act of 2026

United States119th CongressHR-9542House of Representatives
Updated: Jun 30, 2026

Summary

This legislative proposal, known as the "Protecting Health Care and Lowering Costs Act of 2026," seeks to reverse certain changes made to Medicaid. Specifically, it aims to repeal chapter 1 of subtitle B of title VII of a prior reconciliation act, Public Law 119-21. The intent is to eliminate the effects of those specific provisions on Medicaid. By doing so, any laws that were previously amended by the targeted chapter would be restored or revived to their state before the reconciliation act's enactment. This measure effectively undoes particular Medicaid-related legislative actions from the 119th Congress.
