Bill Summary

Providing for consideration of the resolution (H.Res. 863) impeaching Alejandro Nicholas Mayorkas, Secretary of Homeland Security, for high crimes and misdemeanors, and providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 485) 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 Resolution sets forth the rules for considering two significant legislative items in the House of Representatives: first, the impeachment resolution (H.Res. 863) against Alejandro Nicholas Mayorkas, the Secretary of Homeland Security, for alleged "high crimes and misdemeanors," which are serious offenses against the government; and second, a bill (H.R. 485) that would amend federal healthcare laws to prevent the use of "quality-adjusted life years" (QALYs) and similar metrics, which are methods used to measure the value of medical interventions in terms of both length and quality of life, when making decisions about coverage and payment for services under federal health programs. The resolution outlines specific procedures, including waiving certain rules and limiting debate, to expedite the consideration of both the impeachment proceedings and the healthcare bill.
