Thank you for tuning in to Episode 20 of the Believe in Balance Podcast!
Episode Mentions:
About the SAFE Act: The Stopping Addiction and Falls for the Elderly (SAFE) Act (H.R. 1171/S. 2612), designed to enhance fall prevention screenings under Medicare, has not passed into law primarily because it is still moving through the legislative process of the 119th Congress (2025-2026). While bipartisan, the bill has faced the typical hurdles of scheduling, committee review, and competing legislative priorities, having been reintroduced in February 2025 after a previous version stalled in the 118th Congress.
Note:
The bill is different from the "SAVE Act" (voter identification legislation) that has also been under debate in 2026 amongst part of the ongoing repeated shutdowns from the government’s inability to find balance.
