On November 19, 2021, the U.S. House of Representatives (“the House”) narrowly passed the Build Back Better Act (H.R. 5376, or “the Act”), a spending bill appropriating nearly $2 trillion for measures to expand the country’s social safety net and covering issues such as climate change and health care expansion.

Below is a summary of some of the key provisions of the Act that will affect the health care industry.
