Specifically, the bill provides:

  • $30.7 billion for the National Institutes of Health
  • $3.2 billion for CMS (nearly $500 million more than FY 2012)
  • $1.57 billion for community health centers
  • $265 million for Children’s Hospital Graduate Medical Education

The bill now moves to the Senate floor.
