Referred to the Committee on Ways and Means, and in addition to the Committees on Energy and Commerce, the Judiciary, Natural Resources, Education and the Workforce, and House Administration, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Bill 118 hr 10526, also known as the Medicare for America Act, aims to amend the Social Security Act in order to establish a new health program called Medicare for America. This program is designed to provide comprehensive health coverage for all Americans.

Under this proposed legislation, all individuals living in the United States would be eligible to enroll in the Medicare for America program. This program would offer a wide range of health services, including hospital care, doctor visits, prescription drugs, and preventive care.

One of the key features of the Medicare for America program is that it would allow individuals to choose their own healthcare providers, rather than being limited to a specific network of doctors and hospitals. This would give Americans more flexibility and control over their healthcare choices. In addition, the Medicare for America program would be funded through a combination of premiums paid by enrollees, as well as government funding. This would ensure that the program is financially sustainable and able to provide high-quality care to all Americans. Overall, the Medicare for America Act represents a significant effort to expand access to healthcare and ensure that all Americans have access to the care they need. It will be interesting to see how this legislation progresses through Congress and what impact it may have on the healthcare system in the United States.
