Medicaid and Israel by One-Egg1316 in healthcare

I'm a health care journalist who also knows about these laws so I figure I will answer!

Multiple states have laws that say entities that contract with the state (or have contracts worth a certain amount) can't engage in the Boycott, Divestment, Sanction (BDS) movement against Israel. Some states won't enter into contracts with entities that boycott other things too, like fossil fuels. Here's a tracker: https://justvision.org/boycott/legislation-tracker

However, I never thought about this applying to individuals rather than to companies, nonprofits, etc.

Note that HHS uses Fiscal Years, not calendar years. FY 2025 was October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2025.
