Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend title XI of the Social Security Act to prohibit the use of quality-adjusted life years and similar measures in coverage and payment determinations under Federal health care programs.
AI Summary
This bill, the Protecting Health Care for All Patients Act of 2023, prohibits the use of quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) and similar measures in coverage and payment determinations under Federal health care programs, including Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP, and the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program. It amends the Social Security Act to prevent Federal agencies and states from using these measures, which can be seen as devaluing the lives of elderly, disabled, or terminally ill individuals. The bill also increases funding for the Prevention and Public Health Fund and requires a report on how QALYs impact individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
