To provide for a limitation on availability of funds for Department of Health and Human Services, Health Resources and Services Administration Health Care Systems for fiscal year 2024.
Summary
H.R. 1957 is a legislative proposal that would cap the federal funding available to the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) for its Health Care Systems programs during the 2024 fiscal year. Specifically, the bill seeks to limit spending for these programs to the levels enacted in 2019, effectively rolling back recent budget increases. If passed, this reduction could impact federal support for organ transplantation networks, the National Hansen’s Disease Program, and the oversight of the 340B Drug Pricing Program, which helps qualifying hospitals and clinics provide discounted medications to low-income patients.
