America's Healthy Future Act (known as the Baucus bill)
Healthy Americans Act (known as the Wyden/Bennett bill)
United States National Health Care Act (known as the Conyers bill, a single payer proposal)
Physician Payments Sunshine Act

Enhancing the safety of underground pipelines. In January 2012, the Pipeline Safety, Regulatory Certainty, and Job Creation Act (H.R. 2845) was signed into law.
