What’s happening with Healthy Competition for Better Care Act?
The Healthy Competition for Better Care Act remains stalled in committee as of June 2026. Members of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce must hold a vote to move the bill forward, but most legislation fails to receive a committee vote at all. This lack of action since November 20, 2025, follows the standard pattern for the vast majority of bills that do not advance in the legislative process.
