Labor omnia vincit
Hard work conquers all things
PROTECT Our Kids Act
This bill increases federal oversight and preserves funding for schools without China-linked partnerships while allowing short-term waivers, but it risks cutting funds to partnered schools, shifting costs to local communities, and creating privacy and administrative burdens.
STAR Act
The bill protects payments and access for genuinely high‑acuity long‑term care patients—supporting hospital finances and specialized services—while increasing Medicare costs and risking overpayments and administrative burdens if the new criteria or implementation are not tightly controlled.
Student Empowerment Act
The bill broadens tax‑free 529 uses to cover many K–12 costs—making schooling and certain therapies more affordable for families—while trading off reduced federal revenue, potential public‑school equity harms, and the risk of depleting college savings.
Precious Metals Parity Act
The bill lets mutual funds/ETFs count bullion income as qualifying RIC income, making bullion exposure cheaper and more available inside tax‑favored funds but shifting tax benefits to funds and their investors while increasing retail exposure to commodity volatility and causing a modest loss of federal revenue.
Choice Arrangement
The bill expands employer‑backed pathways and tax advantages for employees to access individual‑market coverage and reduces short‑term employer costs with a refundable credit, while increasing federal budget costs, adding employer compliance burdens, and risking market and equity distortions.
American Franchise Act
The bill trades broader legal clarity and lower litigation risk for franchisors and franchisees — preserving franchisee independence and brand control — against reduced legal accountability for franchisors and weakened protections, leverage, and enforcement for workers in franchised chains.
Home Health Stabilization Act of 2025
The bill stabilizes home health payment levels for beneficiaries and providers in 2026–2027 but does so at the cost of higher Medicare spending and the risk of masking needed payment corrections and reducing long-term efficiency.
Tackling Predatory Litigation Funding Act
The bill provides tax relief and simpler tax treatment for recipients of litigation proceeds, while raising concerns about lost federal revenue, potential tax‑planning/enforcement complexity, and fairness among litigants.
Access to Prescription Digital Therapeutics Act of 2025
The bill expands Medicare and Medicaid coverage for prescription digital therapeutics and creates billing and data-reporting structures to support adoption, but it raises federal and state spending, administrative burdens, transparency and evidence risks, and compliance costs that could affect prices and market entry.
To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to treat distributions from health savings accounts for funeral expenses of the account beneficiary as qualified distributions.
The bill lets families use HSA funds tax‑free for funeral costs and clarifies qualifying items to reduce uncertainty, but at the risk that vulnerable HSA holders may deplete funds needed for future medical care and with a small fiscal cost.
