Bipartisan Primary Care and Health Workforce Act

The Bipartisan Primary Care and Health Workforce Act extends funding for community health centers, the National Health Service Corps, and teaching health centers through 2028. It creates new programs to train and retain primary care doctors, nurses, and allied health professionals, including rural residency programs, nurse faculty development, and primary care nurse residency training with specific funding allocations. The bill also includes provisions to reduce patient costs by banning anticompetitive terms in insurance contracts and requiring transparent billing for off-campus outpatient services. These changes directly affect health care providers, community health centers, and patients in underserved areas.
