What’s happening with Health Care Affordability Act of 2025?
The Health Care Affordability Act of 2025 remains in the House Committee on Ways and Means and the Senate Committee on Finance as of January 8, 2025. Committee members must hold a vote to move these bills forward, but the binding constraint is that most legislation dies in committee without ever receiving a vote. This pattern is common because the vast majority of bills introduced in Congress never advance past the committee stage.
