HR 9910: Health Over Wealth Act

The Health Over Wealth Act requires for-profit corporations that own or invest in health care providers like hospitals and nursing facilities to submit detailed annual reports to the federal government on financial data, debt levels, staffing, and political spending. This legislation also mandates that hospitals notify the government 90 days before closing or reducing essential services and requires them to submit mitigation plans to protect patient access and staff. Additionally, the bill creates a task force to study the impact of private equity ownership on health care quality and gives the Secretary of Health and Human Services authority to deny licenses or impose penalties on firms that fail to comply with these transparency and accountability rules.

HRES 1428: Expressing support for Reproductive Justice on the 250th Anniversary of the United States of America.

This resolution expresses support for reproductive justice as the United States approaches its 250th anniversary. It defines reproductive justice as the right to have children, not have children, and raise them in safe communities, emphasizing that these rights should not depend on race, income, or location. The document calls for policies that ensure universal access to comprehensive healthcare, including abortion and contraception, while condemning the criminalization of pregnancy outcomes and forced sterilization. Additionally, it advocates for universal paid family leave, affordable childcare, and medically accurate sex education to support families. Ultimately, the resolution frames reproductive freedom as a fundamental human right and a cornerstone of democracy rather than a privilege.

S 5014: Veteran Suicide Spousal Career Services Act

The Veteran Suicide Spousal Career Services Act expands eligibility for the Disabled Veterans Outreach Program to include spouses of veterans, as well as spouses of service members who died in the line of duty or by suicide related to a service-connected disability. By amending existing federal law, the bill ensures these eligible persons can access the career counseling and support services previously reserved for veterans. This change directly affects the families of those who served, allowing them to utilize the program's resources without needing to meet the veteran status requirement themselves. The legislation focuses on broadening the definition of who qualifies for assistance rather than creating new types of services or funding.

HR 9753: Fertility Cost Relief Act

The Fertility Cost Relief Act allows individuals to withdraw up to $20,000 from their retirement accounts to pay for fertility treatments without incurring the usual early withdrawal penalty. This provision directly affects people seeking assisted reproductive technologies, such as in vitro fertilization, egg or sperm preservation, and fertility medications, as well as their spouses or domestic partners. The bill defines eligible expenses broadly and sets a lifetime limit on penalty-free withdrawals, with the dollar amount adjusted for inflation after 2026. To use this benefit, the funds must be spent on qualifying treatments within one year of being withdrawn from an eligible retirement plan.

S 5004: Cancer Drug Parity Act of 2026

The Cancer Drug Parity Act of 2026 requires group health plans and insurance coverage to treat the cost-sharing for oral cancer medications no less favorably than that for intravenously administered cancer drugs. This rule applies to FDA-approved oral cancer treatments that a treating physician deems medically necessary and clinically appropriate, ensuring that deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance rates are not higher for oral options. The legislation also prohibits plans from making changes that would increase out-of-pocket costs or impose stricter limitations on oral cancer drugs compared to injected ones, while still allowing for standard utilization controls like prior authorization. Additionally, the bill mandates a Government Accountability Office study within two years to assess the impact of these changes on patient costs and access.

This bill requires the Secretary of Defense to report on how quickly military members receive their electronic health records when leaving active duty. The report must cover a one-year period and include data on average wait times, the longest delays experienced, and reasons for any hold-ups. Following this report, the Defense Secretary must create new standards to ensure these records are delivered within a reasonable timeframe, a period to be determined based on the findings and feedback from service members and veterans.

HR 9970: RESCUE Act of 2026

The RESCUE Act of 2026 updates how the federal government reimburses ground and air ambulance services by changing the payment schedule and data collection rules. Starting in 2028, the Secretary of Health and Human Services will adjust payment rates every three years based on new data regarding costs, labor, and uncompensated care, while years in between will see payments increase only by the standard inflation rate. The bill also requires air ambulance providers to submit cost information to the government at least once every three years, aligning this process with existing rules for ground ambulance services. Additionally, the law mandates a review by 2029 to gather expert recommendations on whether further changes are needed to ensure ambulance providers are paid appropriately. These changes directly affect ambulance companies and the federal programs that fund emergency medical transport.

The Health Over Wealth Act requires for-profit corporations that own or invest in hospitals, nursing facilities, and other health care providers to submit detailed annual reports to the government regarding their financial status, debt levels, staffing changes, and political spending. To protect public access to care, the bill mandates that hospitals must provide at least 90 days of notice before closing or discontinuing essential services and must submit a mitigation plan to ensure patients and staff are not left without support. Additionally, the legislation establishes a new licensing system for private equity firms investing in health care, gives the government authority to block risky mergers or acquisitions, and changes bankruptcy laws to prioritize the repayment of employee pension liabilities over other debts.

S 5070: MAIL Act

The MAIL Act allows unhoused or housing-unstable individuals with low incomes who receive specific federal assistance to rent free post office boxes. To qualify, eligible people must submit proof of their status, such as enrollment in Medicaid or participation in food assistance programs, to their local postmaster. The law requires the United States Postal Service to issue regulations for this program within a year and authorizes the agency to buy and maintain the necessary boxes. To cover the cost of lost rental fees and the expense of providing these boxes, the bill directs Congress to appropriate funds to the Postal Service annually. The Postmaster General must also submit an implementation plan within six months and provide progress reports every five years to Congress.
