As Congress reconvenes for its final session of 2025, the spotlight is on a crucial vote concerning healthcare, a matter that has lingered since the recent 43-day government shutdown. Lawmakers are eager to address this pressing issue, which remains a significant concern for many Americans. The healthcare debate is expected to be heated, with various factions advocating for differing approaches to reform and funding.
In addition to healthcare, Congress is also set to discuss two limited measures related to artificial intelligence. These proposals represent a final opportunity for lawmakers to take action on AI policy before the session concludes. The intersection of healthcare and technology is increasingly relevant, as the potential of AI in improving healthcare delivery and patient outcomes continues to be explored.
With both healthcare and AI on the agenda, this session promises to be pivotal in shaping policy that could have lasting impacts on the economy and society as a whole.
