Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that, to maintain the health care safety net, Federally Qualified Health Centers should continue to operate under their longstanding single patient definition for delivery of all services, including prescription drugs.

On September 17, 2026, Rep. Bergman (R-MI) introduced H.Res. 1558, a resolution expressing the sense of the House that FQHCs should continue operating under their longstanding single patient definition for all services, including prescription drugs. The resolution was referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. As a 'sense of Congress' resolution, it is non-binding and does not change any law, regulation, or funding. The bill text argues that service-specific patient definitions would increase administrative costs and restrict access to coordinated care. No funding is authorized or appropriated. The resolution has one cosponsor, Rep. Davis (D-NC), indicating bipartisan support but no legislative momentum beyond committee referral. FQHCs are non-profit entities; no publicly traded company is directly impacted. The resolution does not alter drug pricing, reimbursement rates, or regulatory requirements for pharmaceutical manufacturers, PBMs, or health insurers. The legislative path is early-stage and unlikely to advance further given its non-binding nature.
