Bill Summary

Another masterpiece of legislative theater, courtesy of the geniuses in Congress. The Muhammad Ali American Boxing Revival Act of 2026 - because what's more pressing than reviving a sport that's been on life support for decades? Let's dissect this mess, shall we?

**New regulations:** Oh boy, do we have some doozies here. Unified boxing organizations (UBOs) will now be required to provide additional medical exams, ambulances, and ringside physicians. Because, you know, the current system of brain damage and exploitation wasn't quite lucrative enough. We also get a comprehensive anti-doping program, because who doesn't love a good game of "catch me if you can" with performance-enhancing substances?

**Affected industries:** Boxing, obviously. But let's not forget the real beneficiaries: the UBOs, promoters, and managers who'll be raking in the cash from these new regulations. And, of course, the politicians who'll be lining their pockets with "donations" from these very same organizations.

**Compliance requirements and timelines:** Ah, the fun part! UBOs have two years to get their acts together and start providing all this extra medical care and anti-doping testing. But don't worry, they'll have plenty of time to figure out how to game the system and find ways to circumvent these new regulations.

**Enforcement mechanisms and penalties:** Ha! Good luck with that. The bill mentions "penalties" for non-compliance, but we all know how well that works out in practice. It's not like UBOs will just find ways to bribe or intimidate their way out of trouble or anything (cough, cough, FIFA, cough).

**Economic and operational impacts:** Well, this is where things get really interesting. The added costs of these new regulations will likely be passed on to... you guessed it... the boxers themselves. Because who needs fair compensation when you can have more medical exams and anti-doping tests? The UBOs will just find ways to squeeze more money out of their fighters, and the politicians will get to pretend they're doing something good for the sport.

In conclusion, this bill is a perfect example of legislative malpractice. It's a Band-Aid on a bullet wound, designed to make politicians look good while lining the pockets of special interests. The real disease here is corruption, and this bill is just a symptom of a larger problem. But hey, at least we'll have more boxing matches to watch while our brains slowly turn to mush from all the punches to the head.

Industry Impact

Which industries are materially affected by specific provisions in this bill. 3 helped.

  • +Labor Unionsconfidence 0.70

    The bill includes provisions for boxer contracts, minimum pay per round ($200), and requirements for boxers to fight at least once every 6 months or receive equivalent pay, which could improve working conditions and income stability for professional boxers, potentially benefiting labor representation in the sport. Section 3(f)(2)(A) and (B) specify minimum payment and fight frequency requirements.

  • +Medical Devicesconfidence 0.60

    The bill mandates specific medical examinations for boxers, including chest X-rays, metabolic panels, urinalysis, MRIs, and MRA scans, which could increase demand for medical imaging and diagnostic equipment used in these tests. Section 3(b)(3)(B) details the supplemental physical examination requirements for boxers aged 40 or older.

  • The bill requires UBOs to provide medical coordinators, ensure access to training and rehabilitation facilities, and mandate additional ambulances and ringside physicians during matches, which could increase utilization of hospital services, rehabilitation centers, and emergency medical services. Section 3(d) outlines support services for boxers under contract, and Section 3(c) specifies medical care during matches.

"The bill focuses on boxing safety, medical standards, and anti-doping regulations, whereas the Project 2025 HHS section deals with reproductive health policies, fertility awareness, abortion training restrictions, and childcare initiatives; there is no substantive overlap in topics or objectives."

— 485 — Department of Health and Human Services 2022, a federal court blocked this attempt to eliminate health insurance coverage for fertility awareness–based methods of family planning from requirements that cover at least 58 million women, and the judge made his ruling permanent in December 2022. HRSA should promulgate regulations consistent with this order. HHS should more thoroughly ensure that fertility awareness–based methods of family planning are part of women’s preventive services under the ACA. FABMs often involve costs for materials and supplies, and HHS should make clear that coverage of those items is also required. FABMs are highly effective and allow women to make family planning choices in a manner that meets their needs and reflects their values. l Eliminate men’s preventive services from the women’s preventive services mandate. In December 2021, HRSA updated its women’s preventive services guidelines to include male condoms after claiming for years that it had no authority to do so because Congress explicitly limited the mandate to “women’s” preventive care and screenings. HRSA should not incorporate exclusively male contraceptive methods into guidelines that specify they encompass only women’s services. l Eliminate the week-after-pill from the contraceptive mandate as a potential abortifacient. One of the emergency contraceptives covered under the HRSA preventive services guidelines is Ella (ulipristal acetate). Like its close cousin, the abortion pill mifepristone, Ella is a progesterone blocker and can prevent a recently fertilized embryo from implanting in a woman’s uterus. HRSA should eliminate this potential abortifacient from the contraceptive mandate. l Withdraw Ryan White guidance allowing funds to pay for cross-sex transition support. HRSA should withdraw all guidance encouraging Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program service providers to provide controversial “gender transition” procedures or “gender-affirming care,” which cause irreversible physical and mental harm to those who receive them. l Ensure that training for medical professionals (doctors, nurses, etc.) and doulas is not being used for abortion training. HHS should ensure that training programs for medical professionals—including doctors, nurses, and doulas—are in full compliance with restrictions on abortion funding and conscience-protection laws. In addition, HHS should: — 486 — Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise 1. Investigate state medical school compliance with the Coats–Snowe Amendment,71 which prohibits discrimination against health care entities that do not provide or undergo training for abortion. 2. Ensure that the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) complies with all relevant conscience statutes and regulations and that states have taken the affirmative steps (for example, by issuing regulations) to assure compliance with Coats–Snowe. 3. Communicate to medical schools that any abortion-related training must be on an opt-in rather than opt-out basis. 4. Require states that receive HHS funds to issue regulations or enter into arrangements with accrediting bodies to comply with the Coats–Snowe Amendment’s prohibition of mandatory abortion training by individuals or institutions. The Coats–Snowe Amendment specifically requires such state regulations or arrangements. l Prioritize funding for home-based childcare, not universal day care. As HRSA’s Early Childhood Health page outlines, “Currently, only about half of U.S. preschoolers are on-track with their development and ready for school. And more than one in four of children (28%) who experience abuse or neglect are under 3 years old.”72 Concurrently, children who spend significant time in day care experience higher rates of anxiety, depression, and neglect as well as poor educational and developmental outcomes. Instead of providing universal day care, funding should go to parents either to offset the cost of staying home with a child or to pay for familial, in-home childcare. l Provide education and resources on early childhood health. By partnering with new organizations like the Center on Child and Family Poverty, HRSA should provide resources and information on the importance of the mother–child relationship in child well-being. This should include relationship education curricula that equip mothers and caregivers to connect with and improve their understanding of their infants, toddlers, and young children. Maternal and Child Health. Currently, the HRSA Maternal and Child Health program is collecting data on the benefits of doulas in improving the health, safety, and emotional well-being of mothers at birth. Doulas provide a patient-focused, nonmedical support system for single or married mothers that “decreases the

— 473 — Department of Health and Human Services l Rewrite the ACA abortion separate payment regulation. Section 1303 of Obamacare requires that insurers collect a separate payment for certain abortion coverage in qualified health plans that are approved to be sold on exchanges and that they keep those separate payments in separate accounts that are used only to pay for elective abortion services. Neither the letter nor the spirit of the law was enforced under President Obama, and a Trump- era regulation sought to correct this problem. The Biden HHS rescinded this regulation to allow insurance companies once again—contrary to the law—to collect combined payments for what are clearly required to be separate payments for elective abortion coverage. “Separate” does not mean “together.” HHS should reinstate a Trump Administration regulation and enforce what the plain text of Section 1303 requires. That regulation should be further improved by requiring CMS to ensure that consumers pay truly separate charges for abortion coverage. l Audit Hyde Amendment compliance. HHS should undertake a full audit to determine compliance or noncompliance with the Hyde amendment and similar funding restrictions in HHS programs. This audit should include a full review of the Biden Administration’s post-Dobbs executive actions to promote abortion. It should also encompass a review of Medicaid managed care plans in pro-abortion states. l Reverse distorted pro-abortion “interpretations” added to the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act. The Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA)52 prohibits hospitals that receive Medicare funds from “dumping” emergency patients who cannot pay by sending them to other hospitals. It also mandates that hospitals stabilize pregnant women and explicitly protects unborn children. Hospitals or physicians found to be in violation of the statute could lose all of their federal health funding—Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP, and other funds—and face civil penalties of up to nearly $120,000. In July 2022, HHS/CMS released guidance mandating that EMTALA- covered hospitals and the physicians who work there must perform abortions, to include completing chemical abortions even when the child might still be alive. The guidance also declared that EMTALA would protect physicians and hospitals that perform abortions in violation of state law if they deem those abortions necessary to stabilize the women’s health. This novel interpretation of EMTALA is baseless. EMTALA requires
