HHS can't write rules that create unreasonable barriers to medical care. HHS also can't write rules that block timely care or interfere with patient-provider communication. Nor can it write rules that limit disclosure, violate informed consent, or cap needed treatment time.

Regardless of any other provision of this Act, the Secretary of Health and Human Services can't issue any regulation that: (1) creates any unreasonable barrier to individuals getting appropriate medical care; (2) impedes timely access to health care services; (3) interferes with a patient and provider communicating about the full range of treatment options; (4) restricts health care providers' ability to fully disclose all relevant information to patients making health care decisions; (5) violates the principles of informed consent or the ethical standards of health care professionals; or (6) limits how long a patient can receive treatment for their medical needs.
