This legislation would eliminate cost-sharing for opioid treatment and recovery support services for people with private insurance, Medicaid, and for people enrolled under a new Medicare pilot program.\n\n\u201cEvery family, every community has been scarred by the disease of addiction \u2014 and as the Trump Administration systematically strips away affordable healthcare, it is critical that we expand access to treatment and recovery,\u201d Rep. Dean said. \u201cBecause of the so-called Big Beautiful Bill, 100,000 Pennsylvanians struggling with substance use disorder, including OUD, lost coverage. The MORE Savings Act will help lower costs so that the more than 20 million Americans seeking treatment can find hope and joy in recovery.\u201d\n\nThe MORE Savings Act would require individual and group health insurance plans to cover medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD), overdose reversal medications, treatment in outpatient settings, and recovery support services with no cost-sharing for patients. The bill would also establish a 5-year pilot program in 15 states to eliminate cost-sharing under Medicare and provide an enhanced federal match under Medicaid for people accessing treatment and recovery services.\n\nCongresswoman Dean previously introduced the MORE Savings Act in the 118th Congress.\n\nRead the full text of the bill here.\n\nRep. Madeleine Dean is a mother, grandmother, attorney, professor, former four-term member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, and U.S. Representative for the Fourth District of Pennsylvania.\n\n###", 1, "2026-09-12T09:02:30Z", "2026-09-12T09:03:27Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://dean.house.gov/2026/9/rep-dean-reintroduces-bill-to-lower-treatment-costs-for-opioid-use-disorder"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7236241362988949, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
