Last month, Congressman David Schweikert (R-AZ) introduced bills H.R.193 – Maintaining Innovation and Safe Technologies Act, and H.R.238 – Healthy Technology Act of 2025, which, if eventually accepted, would artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to become your doctor and prescribe medications and pharmaceuticals instead.
H.R.193 was first introduced on January 3rd, and then referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce and to the Committee on Ways and Means to be considered. The bill would: “To direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services to issue guidance on payment under the Medicare program for certain items involving artificial intelligence.”
In a press release, Schweikart argued that integrating AI into “our health care system could produce savings from 5 percent to 10 percent of spending, which equates to around $200 billion to $360 billion annually in 2019 dollars.” In a statement he said:
“My fixation on AI integration and the utility it provides to delivering the personalized care that patients deserve continues to grow. This legislation embraces the morality that is tied to implementing innovation further in our health care system.
“Automating the organization and collection of patient information has proven to reduce physician burden, detect health irregularities quicker, and provide hundreds of million dollars in savings each year. The potential for wearable devices to save American lives and American dollars is expanding, and it’s time for coverage to reflect that.”
Then on the 7th, the Arizona Rep. introduced H.R.238 which specifies that it would allow AI to administer prescriptions. It say: “To amend the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to clarify that artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies can qualify as a practitioner eligible to prescribe drugs if authorized by the State involved and approved, cleared, or authorized by the Food and Drug Administration, and for other purposes.”

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
