A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.
What this bill would do

It also addresses the impact of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which involves significant cuts to the program. Finally, the resolution urges the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to work with State programs to provide guidance on funding cuts and new requirements.
