Save Medicare Act
The bill trades clearer, standardized naming and stronger enforcement to protect beneficiaries from deceptive marketing for potentially large fines and compliance costs and some short‑term consumer confusion during the rename.
Audit the Pentagon Act of 2026
The bill trades stronger oversight, clearer incentives, and some fiscal savings to improve DoD financial accountability for risks of program cuts, potential hits to readiness, added administrative costs, and reduced transparency that could complicate or slow remediation efforts.
PrEP Access Act
The bill expands Medicare coverage and financial protections for pharmacist‑delivered HIV prevention care, improving access in many places, but the impact will be constrained by capped reimbursement, state scope‑of‑practice limits, and potential coverage disputes.
To amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to maintain a website for Medicare beneficiaries to search for providers participating in MA plans and traditional Medicare.
The bill improves Medicare transparency and helps beneficiaries find and compare in‑network care, but it imposes implementation costs on the government and risks harm if the tool is incomplete or not maintained.
To prohibit funds made available to the Department of Health and Human Services by previous Appropriations Acts from being used for any activity that makes Medicare Advantage the default under the Medicare program.
The bill protects Medicare beneficiaries' choice by blocking automatic MA enrollments without a valid election, at the cost of added administrative complexity for governments and potential impacts on MA enrollment and insurer risk pools.
To amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to impose limitations on contracts with Medicare Advantage organizations offering multiple Medicare Advantage plans under the Medicare program.
The bill aims to simplify Medicare Advantage choices by capping similar plans, trading off reduced confusion for some beneficiaries against loss of specialized plan options, potential market consolidation that could harm competition and benefits, and added administrative burdens.
To amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to establish certain requirements with respect to the average monthly cost to provide coverage to an enrollee under Medicare Advantage plans.
The bill aims to curb excess Medicare Advantage payments to save taxpayer dollars and limit unstable plan growth, but it risks reducing plan availability and access for current MA enrollees—potentially causing plan exits, narrower benefits/networks, and higher costs for some beneficiaries.
To amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to require any advertisement of a Medicare Advantage plan to include information related to the rates of prior authorization denials under such plan.
The bill increases transparency about MA prior‑authorization denials—helping beneficiaries compare plans and potentially improving access—at the cost of added plan administrative burdens, risks of consumer misinterpretation, and privacy/proprietary concerns.
To amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to require Medicare Advantage plans to automatically reconsider determinations denying coverage.
The bill makes it easier and more predictable for Medicare beneficiaries and providers to get denials reconsidered, but it risks higher plan costs and more conservative initial denials that could raise enrollee costs or delay care.
To amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to establish certain requirements with respect to rates of reversed prior authorization coverage determinations under Medicare Advantage plans.
The bill strengthens CMS enforcement to reduce inappropriate prior-authorizations and improve beneficiary access, but risks mid-year plan disruptions, market responses that could limit choice or raise costs, and adds enforcement costs.
