House Republicans have issued several revisions to the 2024 Labor-HHS-Education appropriations bill with a variety of socially conservative policy riders and proposed amendments that will face an uphill battle in the full House and in the Senate.
Several representatives have proposed amendments that would limit the influence of critical race theory in medical care and medical education.Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Greg Murphy had their riders adopted into the legislation to reduce the salaries of several prominent public health officials to $1. This includes HHS Sec Xavier Becerra, HHS Assistant Sec. Rachel Levine, and Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Chiquita Brooks-LaSure.
Republican lawmakers in both the House and Senate have voiced their opposition to CMS's proposed rules that would require lower nurse-to-patient ratios in Medicare-approved nursing homes, which would necessitate over 75% of facilities needing to hire more staff.
