Ensuring Seniors' Access to Quality Care Act This bill repeals certain restrictions under Medicare and Medicaid that prohibit the approval of nurse-aide training and competency evaluation programs in skilled nursing facilities that have been subject to specified regulatory actions (e.g., civil penalties) for substandard quality of care. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) must still disapprove such programs for up to two years; however, the CMS must rescind the disapproval upon completion of corrective action and may require additional oversight of the program for purposes of rescission. The bill also allows Medicaid and Medicare providers (e.g., skilled nursing facilities) to access, through the National Practitioner Data Bank, disciplinary information for affiliated physicians and other health care practitioners, as reported by state licensing authorities.

2026-03-26
S4118In Committee

Hospice CARE Act of 2026

This bill would make changes to how hospice care is paid for and regulated under Medicare, likely aiming to improve access to end-of-life care services for seniors and ensure hospice providers can continue operating sustainably.

2025-12-17
S2718In Committee

A bill to amend the Community Development Banking and Financial Institutions Act of 1994 to provide for capitalization assistance to enhance liquidity.

This bill would give more money to community development banks and financial institutions that serve low-income areas and underserved communities, helping them have more cash available to lend to small businesses and residents who might otherwise struggle to get loans.

Medicare Orthotics and Prosthetics Patient-Centered Care Act

Medicare would be required to cover orthotics and prosthetics (artificial limbs and supportive devices) based on what doctors determine patients need, rather than applying strict cost limits that might prevent people from getting necessary equipment.
