SRES 814: A resolution recognizing the importance of independent living and economic self-sufficiency for individuals with disabilities made possible by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and calling to protect the right of individuals with disabilities to live in their own homes and communities.

This Senate resolution recognizes the importance of independent living and economic self-sufficiency for individuals with disabilities, emphasizing their right to live in their own homes and communities. It calls on the Department of Justice to rescind a recent opinion that the Senate views as undermining the legal requirement to provide community-based services instead of institutional care. The document also urges various federal agencies to improve funding for home and community-based services, increase accessible housing and transportation, and promote competitive employment opportunities for people with disabilities. Additionally, the resolution pledges bipartisan efforts to address barriers faced by individuals with disabilities, including those of color, and opposes cuts to the Medicaid program that could limit access to essential support services.

HR 9823: Alzheimer’s Early Detection Act of 2026

The Alzheimer's Early Detection Act of 2026 requires private health insurance plans and Medicaid programs to cover specific tests that detect biological markers for Alzheimer's disease. These tests, which can be performed on blood or tissue samples, are intended to help with early detection, diagnosis, and treatment management of the condition. The law mandates that insurers treat these tests like other standard medical benefits, meaning patients cannot face higher costs, separate waiting periods, or step therapy hurdles specifically for this care. Additionally, the bill requires insurance companies to approve requests for these tests within 72 hours and directs the National Institutes of Health to study the value of such testing over three years.
