What’s happening with Jobs and Opportunities for Medicaid Act?
The Jobs and Opportunities for Medicaid Act, introduced as S. 447 on February 5, 2025, remains in the Senate Committee on Finance. The committee members must act next to hold a vote, but the bill faces a significant hurdle because most legislation never receives a committee hearing or vote. This effort follows a similar bill from March 28, 2023, which expired without further action.
