Prioritizing Primary Care Act of 2026

This bill would require each federal agency that runs a federal health care program, including the federal employee health benefits program, to send Congress a yearly report on primary care spending. Each report would list the total federal dollars spent on primary care and the share of the program's health benefit spending that went to primary care. The first reports would be due within one year of the law taking effect. The bill would also direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services to set up a working group, made up of federal agency staff and outside groups, to study and recommend ways to prioritize primary care spending, increase access to primary care providers, and improve primary care in rural and medically underserved areas. The working group would report its recommendations to Congress within one year of being formed.
