HR 3068 United States House · 118th Congress

Equal Health Care for All Act

The Equal Health Care for All Act requires health care providers to collect and report health outcome data disaggregated by race, national origin, sex (including sexual orientation and gender identity), disability, and age. It mandates hospitals participating in Medicare's value-based purchasing program to adopt measures promoting equitable care by 2025, with special consideration for social determinants of health. The bill establishes new enforcement mechanisms for providers engaging in patterns of inequitable care and creates a Federal Health Equity Commission to monitor implementation and recommend improvements. It also provides grants to hospitals to develop programs addressing health care disparities, including bias training, language services, and workforce diversity initiatives.
