Equal Health Care for All Act

The Equal Health Care for All Act requires health care providers to collect and report disaggregated health data by race, national origin, sex, disability, and age to identify health disparities. It establishes an Office for Civil Rights and Health Equity within HHS to enforce anti-discrimination measures and creates a Federal Health Equity Commission to monitor implementation. The bill prohibits health care providers from delivering inequitable care based on protected characteristics and provides grants to hospitals to improve equitable care through bias training, translation services, and workforce diversity initiatives. Hospitals would need to incorporate equitable health care measures into value-based purchasing programs starting in 2026. This legislation aims to address systemic health care inequities affecting marginalized communities through data collection, enforcement mechanisms, and targeted support for health care providers.
