Sens. Todd Young, R-Ind., and Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., today introduced a Senate version (S. 2986) of the Social Determinants Accelerator Act, AHA-supported legislation that would provide planning grants and technical assistance to help states and communities address the social determinants of health for high-need Medicaid patients.
