What they do Legislative evidence

S 2398 · Kay Hagan Tick Reauthorization Act

Cosponsor

Procedural / indirectCosponsorship · Reviewed automated analysis

Compared with: expand access to health care for all

The cosponsorship supports CDC activities to prevent and respond to vector-borne diseases, including grants and cooperative agreements that may improve public health capacity. But the stated policy goal is broader access to health care for all, and this bill is a targeted infectious-disease prevention/response measure rather than a direct expansion of health coverage, affordability, or general access to care. That makes the connection too indirect to score as support for the specific claim.

Supporting provisions

“Kay Hagan Tick Reauthorization Act This act reauthorizes through FY2030 activities of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to address vector-borne diseases (e.g., diseases spread by bites from ticks or mosquitoes).”
“These activities include (1) a national strategy, (2) grants for regional centers of excellence, and (3) cooperative agreements with state, local, and tribal health departments to increase capacity for preventing and responding to vector-borne diseases.”

S 494 · National Plan for Epilepsy Act

Cosponsor

Partly supportsCosponsorship · Reviewed automated analysis

Compared with: expand access to health care for all

The cosponsorship supports a federal health-care-related initiative, but it is narrowly focused on epilepsy rather than expanding access to health care for all. The bill would require HHS to create a national plan to prevent, diagnose, treat, and cure epilepsy and coordinate research and services, which meaningfully advances access to care within that condition. However, it does not directly broaden universal or general health coverage/access across the population, so the support is partial and limited in scope.

Official statement · Captured 2026-10-28

Supporting provisions

“National Plan for Epilepsy Act This bill requires the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to establish a national plan, form an advisory council, and take other actions to address epilepsy.”
“The requirements sunset on December 31, 2035. Specifically, the bill requires HHS to carry out a National Plan for Epilepsy to prevent, diagnose, treat, and cure epilepsy.”
“In carrying out the plan, HHS must implement activities such as coordinating research and services across all federal agencies and soliciting public comments.”

S 1874 · Title VIII Nursing Workforce Reauthorization Act of 2026

Cosponsor

Partly supportsCosponsorship · Reviewed automated analysis

Compared with: expand access to health care for all

The cosponsorship partly supports the stated goal of expanding access to health care because the bill increases nursing supply and retention, supports student loan repayment and scholarships for nurses in shortage areas, and expands training and services including telehealth and care for sexual assault survivors. These provisions can improve access, but the bill is focused on workforce reauthorization rather than a direct universal coverage or broad access expansion, so the support is meaningful but narrower than the full policy goal.

“Adam also is a supporter of universal healthcare and continues to fight for expanded access to health care for all.”

Official statement · Captured 2026-10-28

Supporting provisions

“Title VIII Nursing Workforce Reauthorization Act of 2026 This bill reauthorizes through FY2031, revises, and establishes programs that support recruitment, education, retention, and advanced practices of nurses and nursing school faculty.”
“Specifically, the bill reauthorizes programs within the Health Resources and Services Administration that provide grants to support increased enrollment in nursing education (including for individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds), advanced nursing education and specialized training, nurse retention, and enhanced patient care.”
“The bill also reauthorizes programs that support student loan repayment and scholarships for nurses who agree to work at facilities with critical nursing shortages and nursing faculty who work at accredited schools of nursing.”
“Also, the bill expands certain grants to include (1) training on the use of new technologies such as telehealth and virtual resources, and (2) care for survivors of sexual assault.”
“Additionally, the bill temporarily establishes (1) grants to nursing schools for supplementing the salaries of eligible faculty for a period of up to three years to enhance faculty recruitment and retention, and (2) grants to state agencies, nonprofits, and nursing schools for establishing nursing workforce centers and collecting data regarding the nursing workforce.”

SRES 727 · A resolution supporting the designation of May 29, 2026, as "Mental Health Awareness in Agriculture Day" to raise awareness around mental health in the agricultural industry and workforce and to continue to reduce stigma associated with mental illness.

Cosponsor

No direct connectionCosponsorship · Reviewed automated analysis

Compared with: expand access to health care for all

The cited action is a cosponsorship of a resolution about mental health awareness and stigma reduction in agriculture. That is related to mental health awareness, but it does not directly expand access to health care for all, such as by increasing coverage, eligibility, provider availability, or affordability. The supplied passage is only a summary designation and does not show a substantive health-care-access mechanism.

S 4641 · Improving Access to Medicare Coverage Act of 2026

Cosponsor

Partly supportsCosponsorship · Reviewed automated analysis

Compared with: expand access to health care for all

The cosponsored bill would expand Medicare access by counting certain hospital outpatient observation stays as inpatient time for meeting the three-day requirement for skilled nursing facility coverage. That meaningfully broadens access to a health care benefit, but it is limited to a specific Medicare eligibility rule rather than expanding health care access for all people generally.

“Adam also is a supporter of universal healthcare and continues to fight for expanded access to health care for all.”

Official statement · Captured 2026-10-28

Supporting provisions

“Improving Access to Medicare Coverage Act of 2026 This bill deems an individual receiving outpatient observation services in a hospital as an inpatient for purposes of satisfying the three-day inpatient hospital-stay requirement with respect to Medicare coverage of skilled nursing facility (SNF) services.”
“(Generally, individuals must have been an inpatient at a hospital for at least three days in order to qualify for SNF services.”
“An individual's time spent under observation at a hospital for purposes of determining whether the individual should be admitted does not count towards this requirement.)”
