Last week, the House Committees with purview over Medicare—Ways &
Means and Energy
& Commerce—finished marking up their sections of the
“Build Back Better” budget reconciliation bill.
Given their shared jurisdiction, the committees considered similar health
care provisions. As outlined below, they advanced several of Medicare
Rights’ priorities independently and jointly—including expanding Medicare
Part B to cover more comprehensive vision, dental, and hearing services;
funding for Medicaid home- and community-based services (HCBS); and
prescription drug reform.
