To abolish the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation.

This legislation aims to abolish the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation (CMMI). Established by the Affordable Care Act, the CMMI is a sub-agency within the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services designed to test various payment and service delivery models. Its primary goal has been to find ways to reduce program expenditures while preserving or enhancing the quality of care for beneficiaries of Medicare, Medicaid, and the Children's Health Insurance Program.

If enacted, the bill would remove the legal authority for this agency to operate. This could lead to the termination of ongoing pilot programs and experimental healthcare initiatives currently managed by the center. Proponents of such measures often argue that the agency oversteps its authority or fails to produce sufficient savings, while opponents suggest that its removal could hinder efforts to modernize the healthcare system and transition away from traditional fee-for-service models.
