Health Insurance Issues

  • Department of Health and Human Services: The Administrations’ budget proposal requests $94.5 billion, proposing $1.6 billion in net mandatory savings. This is a 10 percent decrease from the 2020 enacted level to reduce long-term deficits. The budget proposal promises to eliminate wasteful spending, while preserving beneficiaries’ access to care, enhancing competition, and prioritizing Federal resources for the most vulnerable.
