What’s happening with Medical Debt Relief Act of 2025?
The Medical Debt Relief Act of 2025 remains stalled in the House Committee on Financial Services and the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs as of June 2026. Committee members must choose to hold a vote to move these bills forward, but most legislation in Congress never receives a committee vote. This lack of action is the primary reason these proposals have not advanced since July 28, 2025.
