S891 — 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.
S2819 — 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.
S1507 — Agriculture Resilience Act of 2025
Bold goal: cut greenhouse gas pollution from U.S. agriculture to net zero by 2040 and at least 50% by 2030. The bill directs USDA to write and report on an Action Plan, expand research and extension, beef up conservation and soil health programs, and fund rural energy, manure alternatives, food‑waste reduction, and labeling rules to shrink emissions and boost climate resilience.
SRES604 — A resolution recognizing that it is the duty of the Federal Government to develop and implement a Transgender Bill of Rights to protect and codify the rights of transgender and nonbinary people under the law and ensure their access to medical care, shelter, safety, and economic security.
A comprehensive Transgender Bill of Rights would set federal standards to protect transgender and nonbinary people across health care, education, employment, housing, and identity documents. It aims to protect about 1.6 million transgender adults from discrimination in daily life. - Families and youth would keep access to gender-affirming care and counseling. The bill would bar removing children from their homes for seeking such care and ban nonconsensual intersex surgeries and conversion practices. - Patients and providers would get explicit nondiscrimination protections in health care and expanded telehealth access. The framework seeks legal safeguards for providers, codifies reproductive health rights, and calls to restore the NIH Sexual & Gender Minority Research Office. - Workers, renters, borrowers, and people using federal programs would gain clearer protections. The resolution would amend Title VII, the Fair Housing Act, and the Equal Credit Opportunity Act to cover gender identity and sex characteristics, ease federal ID changes including an 'X' marker, improve asylum and detention practices, review military discharges, and seek TRICARE and VA coverage for gender-affirming care.
S2823 — FAMILY Act
Creates a national paid family and medical leave insurance program that would pay monthly benefits to people who take caregiving or medical leave. The program centers administration at the Social Security Administration and sets eligibility, benefit formulas, state grant rules, and data-sharing to prevent fraud. - Families: People taking leave for caregiving or a serious health condition would get monthly wage-replacement benefits based on a tiered formula that starts at 85% for low wages and steps down for higher earnings. Initial benefit thresholds in 2026 include $1,257 and $3,500 and the law sets a minimum and maximum monthly benefit. - Workers and applicants: Eligibility would depend on wages or self-employment income over the most recent eight quarters with an initial earnings test of $2,000 in 2026. Benefit periods are measured over a year, applications can request retroactive coverage up to 365 days, and the bill requires certifications and appeals processes. - States, employers, and administration: The bill preserves and coordinates with state leave laws by creating a "legacy State" category and an annual grant program starting in 2027 for qualifying States, with up to 7% allowed for administrative costs. It would create an Office of Paid Family and Medical Leave inside SSA to run the program, share data with federal and state partners, and require periodic GAO reviews.
S2763 — Keep Billionaires Out of Social Security Act
Insulate the Social Security Administration from political interference and fund its operations. This bill would limit political appointee access to beneficiary systems, require career-led internal offices, and create new funding for customer service and grants. - Keeps SSA field office presence and staffing at January 1, 2025 levels and limits closures. It requires maintained live-operator access, improved phone metrics within 12 months, expanded online applications, and codifies overpayment recovery of up to 10 percent of a benefit or $10 per month. - Creates grant programs for disability advocacy and local assistance. It authorizes $25.0 million for State protection and advocacy grants for FY2026–2030 and $15.0 million per year for FY2026–2030 to fund at least 10 community grants annually, with minimum awards of $500,000 and required beneficiary representation on governance boards. - Restructures SSA governance and funding rules. It removes SSA from Department of Government Efficiency oversight, restricts political access to beneficiary data with civil and criminal penalties, reestablishes three Deputy Commissioner-led internal offices, sets an annual appropriation formula equal to 1.2 percent of specified benefit payments beginning FY2026, requires Medicare administration funding from HI and SMI trust funds, and creates a $2.0 billion Customer Experience Fund for FY2026–FY2035 while excluding SSA administrative costs from certain budget enforcement calculations. The bill would authorize significant new administrative spending and dedicated funding mechanisms and would change how SSA administration is counted in federal budget enforcement.
