119-s-891, Bipartisan Health Care Act
PBM transparency and 100% rebate pass-through is the bill's center piece, forcing middlemen to disclose pricing and remit rebates while also expanding Medicaid/Medicare supports and public‑health investments. - Families, caregivers, and home‑based care: creates Home and Community‑Based Services (HCBS) planning grants up to $5.0 million per grant for up to 10 States and appropriates $71.0 million for FY2025 with $50.0 million reserved for grants. States must report waiting lists and service‑level timeliness for key personal‑care services. - Seniors and Medicare enrollees: extends telehealth flexibilities through Dec 31, 2026 and Acute Hospital Care at Home through Dec 31, 2029. Adjusts Part D low‑income cost sharing toward $0 generics by 2027 and requires more accurate Medicare Advantage provider directories. - Pharmacies, PBMs, and plans: imposes machine‑readable, claim‑level PBM reporting, authorizes audits, and requires 100% pass‑through of rebates for new/renewed contracts beginning ~30 months after enactment. Provides implementation funding including $188.0 million to CMS and $20.0 million to HHS OIG for FY2025. Adds multiple targeted appropriations and ongoing program spending across Medicaid, Medicare, PBM oversight, and public health, increasing federal outlays in the near term.
119-s-2120, Older Americans Act Reauthorization Act of 2025
Modernizes and reauthorizes the Older Americans Act to prioritize health outcomes and strengthen family caregiving. It updates program rules, boosts nutrition innovation, and sets multiyear funding and accountability measures for elder services through FY2026–2030. - Family caregivers and older relative caregivers get broader supports, including an expanded caregiver definition, explicit respite care, and changes to RAISE and caregiver program governance. - Older adults receive a stronger health focus with a designated HHS officer for behavioral and cognitive services, expanded disease monitoring and falls prevention, new home modification and weatherization authorities, and more flexible medically tailored nutrition services and off‑site meal options. - The bill sets multiyear funding and tighter accountability for programs and tribal services, including Title V funding rising from $540.3 million in FY2026 to $647.4 million in FY2030, increased Grants for Native Americans, and enhanced tribal governance and reporting.
119-s-5071, Children's Safe Welcome Act of 2026
End routine family separation and raise care and oversight standards for noncitizen children. - Children and families would get stronger on-site care and legal supports, including 24/7 trauma-informed caregiver professionals at processing sites, a medical exam within 2 business days, legal orientation and access to counsel, and a 72-hour limit on family detention at CBP facilities. - Placement and foster-care rules would shift toward family-like settings, phase out large congregate facilities within 2 years with benchmarks of 25% in year 1, 75% by 545 days, and 100% by 2 years, create a short-term Transitional Foster Care program for stays up to 30 days, and fund a $46.5 million contingency pool with case-manager ratios set at 8:1 (reducible to 6:1 under utilization triggers). - Oversight, privacy, and legal processes would tighten through an independent Ombudsperson with subpoena power, weekly DHS and HHS data reporting, segregation of ORR case files from DHS A-Files, expedited sponsor decisions and administrative hearings within 7 days, and transfer of specified child asylum adjudications to USCIS.
119-s-2838, Protecting Our Democracy Act
This bill would tighten presidential accountability by creating new oversight of pardons and emoluments and by strengthening ethics, disclosure, and enforcement across the Executive Branch. - Presidents, pardon recipients, and former Presidents would face new limits and disclosures. The Attorney General would have to send prosecution materials to congressional committee leaders within 30 days after a pardon for defined "covered offenses", the bill bans a President's self‑pardon, and pardon recipients must disclose gifts from the prior 365 days and file annual gift reports for five years. - Executive branch officials and appointees would face upgraded ethics rules and enforcement. Agencies would require enforceable ethics pledges, the Office of Government Ethics could impose fines and order disgorgement or divestiture, the Executive Office of the President would get an Inspector General appointed within 120 days, and whistleblowers would gain broader protections including new private remedies in the intelligence community. - Elections, Congress, and the public would get stronger transparency and oversight tools. The bill would expand congressional subpoena and budget enforcement, limit emergency powers, require political committees to report certain foreign contacts and platforms to keep ad records, and it would require Presidents and major party candidates to disclose 10 years of tax returns while capping inaugural donations at $50,000.
119-s-2819, Head Start for America's Children Act
This bill would expand and modernize Head Start to serve more infants and toddlers, require more year‑round and extended‑day options, and strengthen mental‑health, disability, and Native language supports. - Families and children: Would broaden eligibility to include families at or below 60% of the State median income and explicitly cover homeless children, foster care children, and children with disabilities. It would add mental‑health screening during home visits and push many center‑based programs toward full‑calendar‑year operation by Sept. 30, 2027 with defined exemptions. - Early childhood workers and providers: Would expand Early Head Start provider eligibility and prioritize partnerships with Tribal, minority‑serving, and Hispanic‑serving institutions. It would raise staff training expectations, require wage and benefits comparability reporting, and tie a three‑year teaching commitment to certain loan repayment rules. - Native American, Native Hawaiian, and migrant/seasonal programs: Would institutionalize Tribal and Native Hawaiian participation in governance, fund language and cultural preservation, bar non‑Native grantees for Native programs, and exempt these programs from the year‑round requirement while reserving a 4.5% grant pool for them. Would authorize a FY2026 baseline of $144.9 billion and multi‑year targeted reservations including $4.4 billion for extended operations and $300 million for slot conversions, thereby increasing federal spending.
119-s-5283, Momnibus Act
End preventable maternal mortality and severe maternal morbidity. This bill would coordinate federal action on social drivers and health care to reduce racial and geographic disparities, expand postpartum supports, and boost the maternal workforce, data systems, and technology. - Families: Extends WIC postpartum and breastfeeding eligibility to 24 months and creates grants targeting housing, food, and transportation. It authorizes $100 million per year for social determinants grants and $100 million per year for community maternal health equity grants. - Tribal, research, and data improvements: Strengthens maternal mortality review committees, funds tribal and minority‑serving research, and mandates an AI/AN study to address misclassification and unique risks. It authorizes MMRC grants at $10 million per year and reserves at least $1.5 million annually for Tribal entities. - Health system and workforce: Funds training and grants to grow midwives, perinatal health workers, nurses, and maternal mental‑health providers, and supports telehealth, digital tools, and payment model demonstrations. It authorizes NIH IMPROVE research at $73.4 million per year and $15 million per year for VA maternity care coordination. Authorizes multi‑year appropriations across many programs, totaling hundreds of millions per year and thereby increasing federal spending.
