Challenges Ahead for Major Health Care Legislation in U.S. Congress
The likelihood of passing major health care legislation in the U.S. Congress this year appears slim due to election-year politics, the Senate filibuster, and a narrow Republican majority. Despite these challenges, Congress remains focused on health care affordability, with bipartisan efforts aligning with employer health care priorities such as price transparency and cost management. Key reforms that have been enacted include pharmacy benefit manager reforms and price transparency measures. However, several significant bills, such as the Patients Deserve Price Tags Act and the Healthy Competition for Better Care Act, are still awaiting action.
