What it does
The LINE Act would prohibit the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) from disclosing individually identifiable Medicaid enrollment information to any person, including U.S. Immigration and Customs and Border Protection (ICE), for the purpose of enforcing immigration laws. The bill specifically bars the use of Medicaid data obtained through state plans or waivers under Title XIX of the Social Security Act for immigration enforcement purposes, overriding standard disclosure rules under the Privacy Act. It affects federal health agencies and aims to protect the privacy of Medicaid beneficiaries by preventing their health information from being used in immigration-related law enforcement efforts.
