Preventive Health Savings Act

What this bill does

  • The bill requires the Congressional Budget Office to estimate if proposed legislation would reduce government spending through preventive healthcare.
  • Congress, when requesting budget analysis, would receive estimates of long-term savings from preventive health measures.
  • These estimates would be supplementary only and cannot be used to enforce budget rules or spending limits.

    How might requiring preventive health cost estimates change which healthcare bills Congress prioritizes or advances?

  2. 02

    What types of preventive measures would the CBO evaluate, and how would they determine long-term savings across different populations?

  3. 03

    Since these estimates are supplementary and non-binding, what incentive would lawmakers have to actually use them in decision-making?
