Celebrating the 60th anniversary of Medicaid.
H. Res. 620 is a non-binding House Resolution commemorating Medicaid’s 60th anniversary (established July 30, 1965). The resolution acknowledges Medicaid’s joint federal-state funding and administration and emphasizes Congress’s responsibility to guard the program against waste, fraud, and abuse to preserve its long-term viability for vulnerable populations (children, single mothers, the disabled, and individuals living below the Federal poverty line). It references the One Big Beautiful Bill Act as having advanced anti-fraud efforts and work requirements for certain able-bodied adults, noting a projected spending increase by 2035 under that framework. As a resolution, it expresses celebration and intent rather than creating or altering policy or funding; it signals support for safeguarding Medicaid through oversight and anti-fraud measures.
