Health Care and Financial Services

The Subcommittee on Health Care and Financial Services is a specialized division of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. As a subcommittee, it conducts initial hearings and reviews legislation within its narrower jurisdiction before matters can advance to the full committee. The subcommittee holds oversight authority over federal health care policy, food and drug safety, federal entitlement programs, monetary policy, banking, and the Office of National Drug Control Policy. This focused mandate allows the subcommittee to examine complex issues affecting Americans' access to health care and financial services without the broader scope of the full committee.

Chairman Glenn Grothman (R-WI) leads the subcommittee, with Ranking Member Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) representing the Democratic minority. The subcommittee has ten members total, with six Republicans and four Democrats. Recent hearings have addressed healthcare affordability and technology innovation, child health and nutrition, mental health outcomes, and welfare program reform. These hearings demonstrate the subcommittee's focus on examining how federal policies and programs affect Americans' health and financial well-being, from rising healthcare costs to the effectiveness of government assistance programs.
