Prioritizing Primary Care Act of 2026

The Prioritizing Primary Care Act of 2026 requires federal agencies managing health programs to submit annual reports detailing how much money they spend on primary care. To address these spending patterns, the bill mandates the creation of a working group that will study ways to increase primary care funding, improve provider access, and enhance service quality, particularly in rural and underserved areas. This working group will include members from various federal agencies and outside organizations, and it must gather input from states and healthcare stakeholders before submitting its recommendations to Congress.
