What Congress Said
Members who spoke about this bill on the floor, in their own words from the Congressional Record.

The COVID pandemic is over, and the emergency spending spree should be over too. The COVID-era ObamaCare boosts were temporary, and now those temporary benefits are set to return to pre-COVID levels--exactly as the law intended.
This well-meaning CRA is not needed. For decades, Congress has allowed Agencies to fast-track regulations on bureaucratic topics that do not impact the public. The policy that is sought to be overturned merely aligns HHS policy with this longstanding exemption.
This bill would rescind each dollar of unspent funding from emergency supplementals, including funds America needs to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. For example, the Trump administration is using this funding right now--that is right now--to address an Ebola outbreak.
