Creates accountability measures for denying medical care, named after Andrew Kearse.
The problem
Individuals may experience denied medical care without sufficient accountability or legal recourse for healthcare providers or institutions.
The proposal
Establishes legal accountability standards and potential penalties for wrongful denial of medical care in healthcare systems.
The impact
Affects healthcare providers, patients seeking medical treatment, and healthcare institutions through new compliance requirements and legal liability.
Provides legal recourse for patients who are wrongfully denied necessary medical care. Creates accountability for healthcare providers and institutions. May discourage improper denial of treatments.
May require healthcare systems to document and justify medical care decisions. Increases transparency in healthcare denial processes. Could reduce arbitrary decision-making.
Establishes clear legal standards for what constitutes improper denial of care. Provides guidance for healthcare providers on compliance. May reduce confusion about medical care obligations.
New compliance requirements may increase administrative costs for healthcare providers and hospitals. Could lead to higher healthcare expenses passed to patients or insurance holders. May strain smaller healthcare facilities financially.
Could increase lawsuits against healthcare providers and institutions. May result in higher malpractice insurance costs. Could divert healthcare resources to legal defense.
Healthcare providers may struggle to understand and comply with new legal standards. Could create inconsistent interpretation across different states or facilities. May require extensive staff training and system changes.
Providers may become more cautious about medical decisions to avoid liability. Could slow treatment decisions as providers document choices more thoroughly. Patients might experience delayed care during deliberation periods.

Individual contributions, grouped by employer · FEC
Where their individual donors work · 2026 cycle
Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
