Rebuild America’s Health Care Schools Act of 2025

Key Points

• This bill changes how Medicare pays hospitals for training nurses and other health professionals. It allows hospitals to count more of their spending—both direct costs like teacher salaries and indirect costs like building maintenance—as expenses that the government helps cover.
• The plan expands which organizations can get this money. It would cover costs from 'related entities,' meaning if a hospital is part of a larger health system or owns a separate nursing school, those training costs can now be included in Medicare reports.
• The bill stops the government from trying to take back money already paid to hospitals for these training programs. If the government took back money for these types of costs in the last six years, it would have to refund that money to the hospitals.
• This policy aims to address the national nursing shortage. By making it easier and cheaper for hospitals to run their own training programs, the bill helps schools graduate more health care workers to fill empty jobs.
