PROBLEM: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Health Equity and Access under the 
Law for Immigrant Women and Families Act of 2014'' or as the ``HEAL 
Immigrant Women and Families Act of 2014''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds as follows:
            (1) Insurance coverage reduces harmful health disparities 
        by alleviating cost barriers to and increasing utilization of 
        basic preventive health services, especially among low-income 
        and underserved populations, and especially among women.
            (2) Based solely on their immigration status, many 
        immigrants and their families face legal restrictions on their 
        ability to obtain health insurance coverage through Medicaid, 
        CHIP, and Health Insurance Exchanges.
            (3) Lack of health insurance contributes to persistent 
        disparities in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of 
        negative health outcomes borne by immigrants and their 
        families.
            (4) Immigrant women are disproportionately of reproductive 
        age, low-income, and lacking health insurance coverage. Legal 
        barriers to affordable health insurance coverage therefore 
        particularly exacerbate their risk of negative sexual, 
        reproductive, and maternal health outcomes, with lasting health 
        and economic consequences for immigrant women, their families, 
        and society as a whole.
            (5) Denying coverage or imposing waiting periods for 
        coverage unfairly hinders the ability of immigrants to take 
        responsibility for their own health and economic well-being and 
        that of their families. To fully and productively participate 
        in society, access to health care is fundamental, which for 
        women includes access to the services necessary to plan whether 
        and when to have a child.
            (6) The population of immigrant families in the United 
        States is expected to continue to grow. Indeed one in five 
        children in the United States is part of an immigrant family. 
        It is therefore in the nation's shared public health and 
        economic interest to remove legal barriers to affordable health 
        insurance coverage based on immigration status.

SEC. 3. REMOVING BARRIERS TO HEALTH COVERAGE FOR LAWFULLY PRESENT 
              INDIVIDUALS.

    (a) Medicaid.--Section 1903(v)(4) of the Social Security Act (42 
U.S.C. 1396b(v)(4)) is amended--

(1), if they otherwise meet the eligibility requirements for medical

supplemental security income benefits under title XVI, or a State 
supplementary payment), and are lawfully present in the United 
States.'';
            (2) in subparagraph (B)--
                    (A) by striking ``a State that has elected to

                under subparagraph (A)'' and inserting ``aliens 
                provided medical assistance pursuant to subparagraph 
                (A)''; and
                    (B) by striking ``to such category'' and inserting 
                ``to such alien''; and
            (3) in subparagraph (C)--
                    (A) by striking ``an election by the State under 
                subparagraph (A)'' and inserting ``the application of 
                subparagraph (A)'';
                    (B) by inserting ``or be lawfully present'' after 
                ``lawfully reside''; and
                    (C) by inserting ``or present'' after ``lawfully 
                residing'' each place it appears.
    (b) CHIP.--Subparagraph (J) of section 2107(e)(1) of the Social 
Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1397gg(e)(1)) is amended to read as follows:
                    ``(J) Paragraph (4) of section 1903(v) (relating to 
                lawfully present individuals).''.
    (c) Effective Date.--
            (1) In general.--Except as provided in paragraph (2), the 
        amendments made by this section shall take effect on the date 
        of the enactment of this Act and shall apply to services 
        furnished on or after the date that is 90 days after such date 
        of the enactment.
            (2) Exception if state legislation required.--In the case 
        of a State plan for medical assistance under title XIX, or a 
        State child health plan under title XXI, of the Social Security 
        Act which the Secretary of Health and Human Services determines 
        requires State legislation (other than legislation 
        appropriating funds) in order for the plan to meet the 
        additional requirements imposed by the amendments made by this 
        section, the respective State plan shall not be regarded as 
        failing to comply with the requirements of such title solely on 
        the basis of its failure to meet these additional requirements 
        before the first day of the first calendar quarter beginning 
        after the close of the first regular session of the State 
        legislature that begins after the date of the enactment of this 
        Act. For purposes of the previous sentence, in the case of a 
        State that has a 2-year legislative session, each year of such 
        session shall be deemed to be a separate regular session of the 
        State legislature.

PROBLEM: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Department of Education Elimination 
Act of 2014''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) Principles of federalism embodied in the Constitution 
        of the United States entrust authority over issues of 
        educational policy to the States and the people and a Federal 
        Department of Education is inconsistent with such principles.
            (2) Tradition and experience dictate that the governance 
        and management of schools in the United States are best 
        performed by parents, teachers, and communities.
            (3) The education of the Nation's students is suffering 
        under a managerial government.
            (4) The Department of Education has weakened the ability of 
        parents to make essential decisions about their children's 
        education and has undermined the capacity of communities to 
        govern their schools.
            (5) In the 34 years of its existence, the Department of 
        Education has grown from a budget of $14 billion to almost 
        $65.7 billion in annual discretionary appropriations 
        administering around 100 programs. Meanwhile, education 
        performance for 17-year olds has stagnated since 1971.
            (6) The Department of Education has fostered over-
        regulation, standardization, bureaucratization, and litigation 
        in United States education.
            (7) The Department of Education expends large amounts of 
        money on its own maintenance and overhead. While the average 
        salary for public school teachers is around $56,000, the 
        average salary for a Department of Education employee is 
        $108,571.
            (8) Recent tests reflect poor results in mathematics, 
        science, and reading for American students compared with 
        students from other nations.
            (9) Only through initiatives led by parents and local 
        communities with the power to act can the United States elevate 
        educational performance toward an acceptable level.
            (10) The current system of top down education uniformity is 
        detrimental to local businesses and communities, the economic 
        needs of the states, and the Nation's ability to compete 
        globally for jobs.
            (11) The Department of Education has been hostile to many 
        promising reform ideas or empowering parents, teachers, and 
        local communities. The United States, once a laboratory of 
        innovation through the experiments of the States, is moving 
        toward education standardization that does not consider the 
        individual educational needs of our diverse population of 
        students.

SEC. 3. ABOLITION OF DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION.

    The Department of Education is abolished, and, with the exception 
of the programs transferred under section 7, any program for which the 
Secretary of Education or the Department of Education has 
administrative responsibility as provided by law or by delegation of 
authority pursuant to law is repealed, including each program under the 
following:
            (1) The Department of Education Organization Act (20 U.S.C. 
        3401 et seq.).
            (2) The General Education Provisions Act (20 U.S.C. 1221 et 
        seq.).

SEC. 4. GRANTS TO STATES FOR ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY AND FOR 
              POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION PROGRAMS.

        and secondary school programs for fiscal year 2012 (except for 
        the funds appropriated for fiscal year 2012 for such programs 
        for such State that are being transferred under section 7); and
            (2) a grant for fiscal year 2015 and each succeeding fiscal

        education programs for fiscal year 2012 (except for the funds

            (2) under subsection (a)(2), shall be used by the State for 
        any postsecondary education purpose permitted by State law.
    (f) Supplement, Not Supplant.--A grant received under subsection 
(a) shall only be used to supplement the amount of funds that would, in 
the absence of such grant, be made available from non-Federal sources 
for elementary school and secondary school programs or postsecondary 
education programs, and not to supplant those funds.

State shall pay to the Treasury of the United States 100 percent of the 
amount of State funds that were used in violation of section 4 as a
