Audemus jura nostra defendere
We dare to defend our rights
Rosa Parks Day Act
The bill formalizes a Rosa Parks national observance and gives federal workers an extra paid holiday, trading a modest increase in federal payroll costs and short-term service disruptions for symbolic recognition and additional time off.
Maternal Vaccination Act
The bill focuses modest new federal funding and targeted outreach on pregnant and postpartum people (especially racial/ethnic minorities) to boost maternal and infant vaccination and reduce disparities, at the cost of a small taxpayer-funded increase and possible diversion of CDC resources plus modest implementation burden for providers.
Maternal Vaccination Act
The bill strengthens maternal vaccination outreach and access by increasing CDC funding and integrating obstetric settings, improving likely vaccination rates for pregnant people and infants, but it increases federal spending, imposes new administrative requirements on local providers, and risks program interruptions if funding timing creates gaps.
To amend the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act to modify provisions relating to rural decentralized water systems grants.
The bill expands targeted grant help and consumer protections for low-income rural households' water and wastewater needs while introducing funding and cap uncertainties, shifting costs onto moderate-income households via loans, and increasing administrative burdens for nonprofit implementers.
Increasing Access to Quality Cardiac Rehabilitation Care Act of 2025
The bill makes it easier and faster for Medicare patients to get cardiac and pulmonary rehab by expanding who can prescribe and where it can be delivered, but it may raise Medicare costs and create variability in program oversight if implementation standards are not clarified.
Rural Health Training Opportunities Act
The bill prioritizes expanding access to workforce training for rural residents and reducing transportation barriers, but shifts limited funding and administrative resources in ways that could reduce support for some non-rural areas and increase costs for grant programs.
Resident Physician Shortage Reduction Act of 2025
The bill expands Medicare-supported residency slots and commissions a targeted GAO study to better align workforce policy with need—potentially improving physician supply and access in underserved areas—while increasing federal health spending and creating eligibility and administrative rules that may disadvantage smaller hospitals and delay immediate relief.
To direct the Secretary of Defense to establish a pilot program regarding treating pregnancy as a qualifying event for enrollment in TRICARE Select.
The bill improves pregnant military beneficiaries' access to civilian maternity care through a limited pilot and increased oversight, at the cost of higher administrative/program expenses, potential provider capacity strains, and added DoD reporting burdens.
Resident Physician Shortage Reduction Act of 2025
The bill aims to grow and target the physician workforce—especially in rural and underserved areas—by adding Medicare residency slots and rural training grants, at the trade-off of increased federal spending, limited grant capacity, and administrative and implementation challenges that may leave some high‑need communities or small providers behind.
