The United States House of Representatives passed House Bill 4241 BY A MARGIN OF TWO VOTES. This Bill slashes Medicaid entitlements for poor people. You can read the text of the bill. The Senate considered its version of the legislation. The Senate version steered clear of making changes that affect Medicaid eligibility. The House version and the Senate version both passed and the matter went to a conference committee to reconcile the differences in the Bills. The conference committee passed the harsh language in the House version of the bill. But there were technical additions that stopped the bill from passage until the House of Representatives voted on it again on February 1, 2006. Again, the measure passed by 2 votes. As of February 2, 2006, it has not been signed by President Bush.
You can find a summary of the law as it affects the Medicaid Eligibility Rules here.
