Audemus jura nostra defendere
We dare to defend our rights
Rosa Parks Day Act
Designating Rosa Parks Day as a federal holiday and national observance gives federal workers added paid time off and raises awareness of civil‑rights history, at the cost of modest recurring taxpayer expense and some disruption or schedule adjustments in federal services.
LIFT Act
The bill helps state/local governments and nonprofits finance and refinance projects (and raises construction wages) by providing refundable credits and clearer refunding rules, but does so at the cost of higher federal spending and reduced tax revenue, tighter cash‑management rules, and increased compliance and administrative burdens that may raise borrowing and project costs.
Maternal Vaccination Act
The bill focuses federal resources on improving vaccination for pregnant and postpartum people (including reducing racial/ethnic disparities) and provides modest additional funding, while creating a small taxpayer cost, potential diversion of CDC resources from other vaccine outreach, and modest implementation burdens for providers and public health systems.
Maternal Vaccination Act
The bill directs modestly increased CDC funding and requires targeted outreach and obstetric integration to boost maternal and infant vaccination, at the trade-off of higher federal spending, added administrative burdens, and a risk of program disruption if the funding timeline creates a gap.
To amend the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act to modify provisions relating to rural decentralized water systems grants.
The bill expands grant-funded help and consumer protections for the poorest rural households to install or repair private water and wastewater systems, while shifting costs to moderate-income households and introducing funding, cap, and administrative uncertainties that could limit program effectiveness.
Increasing Access to Quality Cardiac Rehabilitation Care Act of 2025
The bill expands who can prescribe and where Medicare cardiac and pulmonary rehab can be delivered, improving timely access for beneficiaries but likely increasing Medicare costs and raising risks of inconsistent clinical oversight without clear implementation standards.
Rural Health Training Opportunities Act
The bill increases access to workforce training for rural residents and lowers transportation barriers, but redistributes limited grant resources toward rural areas and adds cost and reporting burdens that could shrink program scope elsewhere.
Resident Physician Shortage Reduction Act of 2025
The bill expands Medicare‑funded residency slots and directs a targeted study to strengthen the physician workforce and access—particularly in high‑need specialties and underserved areas—but does so at increased federal cost, with administrative complexity and rules that may advantage larger institutions and leave smaller hospitals and communities waiting for benefits.
To direct the Secretary of Defense to establish a pilot program regarding treating pregnancy as a qualifying event for enrollment in TRICARE Select.
This bill lets pregnant service members access preferred civilian maternity care while imposing a limited five-year pilot and reporting regime to monitor effects — trading improved individual access for potential higher costs, provider capacity strains, and extra DoD administrative burden.
Resident Physician Shortage Reduction Act of 2025
The bill invests federal resources to expand and target residency training—especially for rural and shortage areas—to grow the physician workforce, but it increases federal spending, may leave many areas underfunded, and creates implementation and equity challenges that could limit who benefits.
