Health Committee Members

Congressional committees have jurisdiction over certain aspects of federal policy and decide which bills and resolutions move forward to be voted on by the House or Senate as a whole. A full list of committees is available here.

Committee chairs and ranking members have enormous influence over this process, along with input from the members of each committee. There are a number of committees in Congress that have jurisdiction over health care issues. This document highlights the committees with primary health care jurisdiction over substance use disorder/addiction programs, policy, and funding that impact NAADAC’s primary legislative objectives.
