Referred to the Committee on Ways and Means, and in addition to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
H.R. 6114 would block the Department of Health and Human Services from using previously appropriated federal funds to automatically enroll Medicare beneficiaries into Medicare Advantage plans if they fail to actively choose a plan themselves. Currently, Medicare law allows automatic enrollment into Medicare Advantage under certain circumstances, but this bill would prohibit any federal spending to implement or support such automatic enrollment policies. The legislation affects Medicare beneficiaries who are entitled to traditional Medicare benefits and would preserve their ability to opt out of Medicare Advantage enrollment by maintaining the status quo enrollment rules. The bill carries no new appropriations or specific funding amounts, instead restricting how existing HHS funds can be spent. The measure was introduced in November 2025 and referred to the House Ways and Means Committee and the Energy and Commerce Committee for consideration.
