Health Care Policy in the 118th Congress

After being sworn in January 3, 2023, the 118th Congress will address critical health issues, including continued COVID funding, provider pay/workforce shortage issues, reproductive health, mental health care, and more.

As first-time representatives, freshman members will be motivated to develop and vote on legislation that's important to them and their constituents. As such, CURA researched all freshman members to find those whose background and interests make them more likely to make an impact on health policies.
