Bill > HR3068

This bill, the Equal Health Care for All Act, aims to prohibit discrimination in health care and require the provision of equitable health care. Key provisions of the bill include: - Requiring health care providers to report health outcome data disaggregated by demographic characteristics like race, sex, and disability to identify patterns of inequitable care. - Incorporating measures of "equitable health care" into the hospital value-based purchasing program, which ties Medicare payments to quality of care. - Allowing the Secretary of Health and Human Services to exclude health care providers from Medicare and Medicaid programs if they engage in a pattern of providing inequitable care. - Establishing the Office for Civil Rights and Health Equity within the Department of Health and Human Services to investigate and address complaints of inequitable health care. - Prohibiting health care providers from subjecting individuals to the provision of inequitable health care based on factors like race, sex, or disability, and providing a process for individuals to file complaints. - Creating a Federal Health Equity Commission to monitor progress on health equity and make recommendations to Congress and the President. - Providing grants to hospitals to promote equitable health care and outcomes, with a focus on hospitals that serve disadvantaged communities. The overall goal of the bill is to address longstanding disparities and inequities in the provision of health care in the United States.
