To express the sense of Congress that aliens who are present in the United States without lawful status under the immigration laws should not receive any benefit under the Medicare program or under the Medicaid program.

HR 7215 is a non-binding resolution expressing Congress's opinion that undocumented immigrants (those without lawful U.S. status) should not receive Medicare or Medicaid benefits, consistent with existing law under the 1996 welfare reform act (PRWORA). It does not change current policy but formally states this position, referencing Section 101 of the Immigration and Nationality Act to define "aliens without lawful status." The bill directly addresses the eligibility rules already enforced by Medicare and Medicaid programs, which generally exclude undocumented individuals under current federal law. This resolution serves as a symbolic clarification of congressional intent, not a new legal requirement.
