Lawmakers returned to Capitol Hill on November 12, 2024, for a “lame duck "session. This session is defined as the time after an election, but before newly elected officials take office. During the lame duck, Congress can still pass laws and will decide which bills to pass, including several highly important bills. Any bills that are not passed this year will have to start over when the new Congress begins on January 3, 2025.

As we look at items that are health related, lawmakers need to approve pending funding increases for medical research, public health, and patient care programs before December 20th. If they don't, the temporary measure keeping the government running will expire.

While there are many important health bills to follow, the list below features overarching items with strong bipartisan support and pressing need for action that could be decided on before the end of this year. 

Our webinar series on the upcoming changes to Medicare were a huge success! And almost 60% of post-event survey respondents stated that more than half of the information presented was new to them.

We encourage you to watch both sessions on demand and share with your network - education is critical in helping you make informed healthcare decisions.
