Last weeks of the 2024 Congress: Telehealth, Mental Health Parity Act, and Medicare

With the elections over, the last 6 weeks of the current Congress will be its busiest. Nearly 22,000 bills and resolutions had been introduced in either the House or the Senate by the end of September. Roughly a quarter of these bills have been discussed in Congressional hearings or saw movement on the way to being signed into law. These last weeks, in what is called the “lame duck” session, are the last chance to pass these bills before everything has to start again in January.
