The proposed $185.8 billion in funding for the three departments is an 11% drop from the budget implemented for fiscal 2024. The legislation would provide $107 billion for HHS, a 7% cut from the 2024 funding level.
Here are the healthcare funding levels above or below FY 2024 levels, according to the American Hospital Association:
- $48.6 billion for the National Institutes of Health (equal to FY 2024).
- $185 million for the hospital preparedness program (a $120 million decrease).
- $7.4 billion for the CDC (a $1.8 billion cut, including level funding for public health workforce initiatives).
- $7.6 billion for the Health Resources and Services Administration (a $1.5 billion decrease, including a cut of $18 million for nursing workforce development).
- $609 million for the maternal and child health services block grant (a $5 million increase over FY 2024).
- The Children’s Hospitals Graduate Medical Education program would receive $395 million in funding ($5 million increase) and rural health would receive $401 million ($36 million boost) including increases for rural hospitals.
The bill would also prevent any funding from being used to enforce the administration’s final rule relating to minimum staffing levels for long-term care facilities, according to the AHA.
The full House is expected to vote on the bill in August.
