What’s happening with Physician Led and Rural Access to Quality Care Act?
The Physician Led and Rural Access to Quality Care Act, known as H.R. 2191, has remained in the House committees on Energy and Commerce and Ways and Means since March 17, 2025. Committee leaders must decide to hold a vote for the bill to move forward, but most bills fail to receive a committee vote and never reach the floor for a full debate. This lack of committee action has stalled the effort for 15 months.
