Evidence
Last Action Date Listed: March 26, 2026. Action: Mr. Doggett (for himself and Ms. Schakowsky) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Ways and Means, and in addition to the Committee on Energy and Commerce. Full title: To amend titles XI, XVIII, and XIX of the Social Security Act with respect to minimum staffing levels in skilled nursing facilities and nursing facilities under the Medicare and Medicaid programs.
Assessments
Doggett made a same-term legislative effort by introducing H.R. 8100 in March 2026 to strengthen Medicare and Medicaid nursing facility staffing standards, which fits the broader health-system reform area. However, the evidence shows only introduction and referral to committees, with no enactment or completed preservation of the promised reforms. Under the rubric, a serious but unsuccessful legislative attempt is not delivery, so this is marked never with an effort badge.
