## Summary

**This bill would bar the use of Quality-Adjusted Life Years (QALYs) and similar measures in coverage and payment decisions across federal health programs.** It also raises annual funding for the Prevention and Public Health Fund and orders recurring federal reports on QALYs' effects. - Patients who are elderly, disabled, or terminally ill would be protected from coverage decisions that value their life-years lower than younger or healthier people. States and federal agencies would not be allowed to use QALYs or waive that prohibition. - Medicaid enrollees, children in CHIP, Medicare Advantage enrollees, and people on Part D would see the rule applied to their programs; Medicaid managed care organizations, MA plans, and prescription drug plans could not use dollars-per-QALY measures in coverage or payment decisions. - The Prevention and Public Health Fund would receive $1.1 billion in FY2026–27 rising to $1.5 billion by FY2030–31 to support public health activities. The Comptroller General must report to Congress within 1 year and annually after on how QALYs affect people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
