To amend the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 respecting the scoring of preventive health savings.
Summary
This bill amends the Congressional Budget Act to allow budget committees to request special budget scoring analysis for legislation that would reduce future government spending through preventive health care. Upon such a request, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget must determine whether proposed legislation would result in net reductions in budget costs in future years through preventive health measures. If cost reductions are found, the Director must provide a description and estimate of those reductions and the basis for the conclusions. Such estimates may be prepared for extended budget periods of up to 20 years into the future, beyond the normal projection timeframes. The resulting estimates serve only as supplementary information and cannot be used to determine compliance with budgetary enforcement rules.

“(1) Determination by the director.—Upon a request by the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate and chairman and ranking minority member of the committee of primary jurisdiction of the Senate or by the chairman and ranking minority member of the Committee on the Budget of the House of Representatives and the chairman and ranking minority member of the committee of primary jurisdiction of the House of Representatives, the Director shall determine if proposed legislation would result in net reductions in budget outlays in budgetary outyears through the use of preventive health care.
“(2) Projections.—If the Director determines that proposed legislation would result in net reductions in budget outlays as described in paragraph (1), the Director—
“(A) shall include, in any projection prepared by the Director on such proposed legislation, a description and estimate of the reductions in budget outlays in the budgetary outyears and a description of the basis for such conclusions; and
“(B) may prepare a budget projection that includes some or all of the budgetary outyears, notwithstanding the time periods for projections described in subsection (e) and sections 308, 402, and 424.
“(3) Limitation.—Any estimate provided by the Director pursuant to paragraph (1) shall be used as a supplementary estimate and may not be used to determine compliance with the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 or any other budgetary enforcement controls.
“(4) Definitions.—As used in this subsection—
“(A) the term ‘budgetary outyears’ means the 2 consecutive 10-year periods beginning with the first fiscal year that is 10 years after the current fiscal year; and
“(B) the term ‘preventive health care’ means an action that focuses on the health of the public, individuals, and defined populations in order to protect, promote, and maintain health and wellness and prevent disease, disability, and premature death, including through the promotion and use of effective, innovative health care interventions that are demonstrated by credible and publicly available evidence from epidemiological projection models, clinical trials, observational studies in humans, longitudinal studies, and meta-analysis.”. <all>
