Printed page 474 14. Department of Health and Human Services
“HHS should revive a Trump Administration proposed regulation, “Special Responsibilities of Medicare Hospitals in Emergency Cases and Discrimination on the Basis of Disability in Critical Health and Human Service Programs or Activities,” to achieve this end.”
What has happened
- Not started
The Trump proposed rule the Quote names - 'Special Responsibilities of Medicare Hospitals in Emergency Cases and Discrimination on the Basis of Disability in Critical Health and Human Service Programs or Activities' - has not been revived. Federal Register full text for the window returns 0 documents for that title and 0 for 'Special Responsibilities of Medicare Hospitals'. The complete HHS active regulatory agenda on reginfo.gov (agencyCd=0900, 183 RINs across HRSA, FDA, IHS, CDC, NIH, SAMHSA, OIG, OASH, CMS, OCR, ONC, ACF, ACL and OS) contains no such rulemaking; the two CMS hospital conditions-of-participation RINs in it are CMS-3481 (sex-rejecting procedures) and CMS-3484 (burden reduction). HHS OCR does have a disability nondiscrimination rulemaking in progress (RIN 0945-AA27), but it revises the 2024 Section 504 rule rather than reviving the born-alive proposal.

Research notes
- Searched: Federal Register API, publication date on or after 2025-01-20, for the quoted phrases “Special Responsibilities of Medicare Hospitals” (0) and “born-alive” (2, neither HHS); the Federal Register documents we keep and search, for “special responsibilities of medicare” (0).
- reginfo.gov HHS agency rule list, current publication, active stages, parsed row by row - https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaMain?operation=OPERATION_GET_AGENCY_RULE_LIST¤tPub=true&showStage=active&agencyCd=0900. This is the source that matters here: the Federal Register prints only the Regulatory Plan (42 HHS entries) and the abbreviated Reg-Flex agendas, so an absence in the Federal Register is not an absence from the agenda.
