  Market-Based Premium Relief

  The House Republicans' health package. It expands association health plans, lets employers fund workers' own coverage, funds ACA cost-sharing payments, and adds PBM transparency rules. It does not extend the enhanced subsidies.

  Make ACA Subsidies Permanent

  Makes the enhanced ACA premium tax credits permanent. More people qualify for marketplace subsidies, and the subsidies stay larger, for good.

  Rein In Drug Middlemen

  Reins in the pharmacy benefit managers who sit between drugmakers and pharmacies. It curbs tactics like “spread pricing,” requires PBMs to pass manufacturer rebates through to health plans, and unlinks their pay from a drug's list price.

  Health Care Price Transparency

  Restore Impoundment Power

  Repeals the 1974 law that bars a president from refusing to spend money Congress has appropriated. It would let the president “impound” funds, that is, decline to spend them, to hold down federal outlays.

  Constitutional Spending Cap

  A constitutional amendment capping total federal spending in a year at the average revenue collected over the prior three years, forcing the budget toward balance over time. It would also require a two-thirds vote of both chambers to raise any tax. The House voted on it in 2026 and it fell short of the two-thirds required.

  Bipartisan Fiscal Commission

  Creates a bipartisan commission of lawmakers and outside experts to write a plan to stabilize the debt, with a guaranteed up-or-down vote in Congress. It doesn't choose the spending cuts or tax increases itself; it forces a process to decide.

  Permanently Schedule Fentanyl-Related Drugs

  Permanently places all fentanyl-related substances into Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act, the most tightly controlled category, so making or selling any chemical cousin of fentanyl carries the same penalties as fentanyl itself. Before this, the class was scheduled only under temporary orders that had to be renewed.

  Sanction Chinese Fentanyl Suppliers

  Widens the definition of a “foreign opioid trafficker” to cover Chinese people and entities that make or sell the chemicals used to produce fentanyl, so the government can impose financial sanctions on that supply chain.

  Prescribe Addiction Medications by Telehealth

  Assault Weapons Ban

  Bans the manufacture, sale, and import of many semiautomatic rifles and pistols the bill defines as “assault weapons,” along with the large-capacity magazines it defines. Firearms already owned are grandfathered in.

  Bring Back the Clean Energy Tax Credits

  Give Clean Energy Projects Their Deadlines Back
