Bill overview
This bill, the Lead by Example Act of 2025, would require all Members of Congress and their staff to receive health care through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) starting January 3, 2027. Currently, these officials have access to health plans through the Federal Health Benefits Program. The bill mandates that the VA and Office of Personnel Management develop a plan to implement this change by September 15, 2025, and may recommend any necessary legislative adjustments. This shift aims to align congressional healthcare with the VA system.
