Sponsored By: Senator King, Angus S., Jr. [I-ME]

Introduced

Summary

Creates a formal process for counting preventive health savings in long-term budget projections. It directs the budget Director to decide when proposed legislation would cut future federal outlays through preventive health care and to describe and quantify those reductions when asked by key congressional committees.

Show full summary
  • Lawmakers: On a joint request from the chairs and ranking members of the Budget Committee and the committee with primary jurisdiction in either chamber, the Director will determine whether a bill would produce net reductions in budget outlays in the budgetary outyears and include a description and estimate of those reductions in projections.
  • Budget office: If the Director finds such reductions, the Director must include the estimate in projections and may prepare projections that extend into some or all of the budgetary outyears beyond the usual time windows.
  • Scope and evidence: The bill defines "budgetary outyears" as two consecutive 10-year periods beginning with the first fiscal year that is 10 years after the current fiscal year. It defines "preventive health care" to include actions and interventions supported by credible, publicly available evidence such as epidemiological projection models, clinical trials, observational and longitudinal studies, and meta-analysis.

Analyzed Economic Effects

1 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.

Extra long-term CBO health estimates

If enacted, the bill would let the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) produce extra long-term budget estimates about preventive health. CBO could do this only after a joint request by the Budget Committee leaders and the committee in charge of the bill in the same chamber. The estimates could cover two consecutive 10-year periods starting 10 years after the current fiscal year. Any estimate would be supplementary and could not be used to enforce budget rules.
