117-hr-1193, Cardiovascular Advances in Research and Opportunities Legacy Act
This law expands federal efforts to increase research, awareness, and prevention of valvular heart diseases. It directs the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Health and Human Services to support research, hold a mitral valve prolapse workshop, fund prevention and awareness projects, and improve public health data on cardiac arrests. - Researchers: The NIH and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute can fund studies using advanced imaging and other methods to learn causes and risk factors. The Institute must convene a workshop within two years to identify research needs and recommendations for mitral valve prolapse, including risks for sudden cardiac arrest and sudden cardiac death. - Patients and families: HHS can award grants and contracts and provide technical assistance to improve public awareness of symptoms and risk factors. Projects may be prioritized for populations most affected by valvular heart diseases. - Public health and clinicians: The law supports continuing Centers for Disease Control and Prevention activities, aims to improve data quality on out-of-hospital cardiac arrests, and requires HHS to identify and share best practices for health care providers. Authorizes up to $28 million per year in appropriations for fiscal years 2023 through 2027 to support these research, prevention, awareness, and data activities on valvular heart diseases.

117-hr-3076, Postal Service Reform Act of 2022
Postal Service Health Benefits Program creates a USPS-specific health plan inside the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program and pairs that change with Medicare coordination and stronger postal oversight. The law also lets USPS offer new nonpostal services to raise revenue and requires much more public performance and cost transparency. - USPS employees and annuitants get a dedicated FEHB program with standard enrollment choices (self, self plus one, self and family), a transitional open season, and Medicare rules that include a special six-month Part B enrollment window beginning April 1, 2024 with coverage starting January 1, 2025; most Medicare-covered annuitants must have Part A and Part B to enroll, with specific grandfathered exceptions. - State, local, and tribal governments can buy property or nonpostal services from USPS for public, noncommercial purposes if the agreements reimburse at least 100 percent of attributable costs each year and follow new public posting and Governor-approval rules. - Oversight and performance changes require a weekly public dashboard, a PRC review of cost attribution, an Inspector General audit of PRC data, a Flats operations study with a 6-month remediation plan, and specified FY2022 funding: $7.5 million to CMS, $16.0 million to SSA, and $70.5 million to OPM. The law provides $94.0 million in FY2022 to federal agencies and requires USPS to deposit an equal amount into the Treasury, making the FY2022 transactions roughly budget-neutral.
