Hoyer Statement on CBO Score of House
Health Reform Bill
WASHINGTON, DC – House Majority Leader
Steny H. Hoyer (MD) issued the following statement on the estimate
released last evening by the Congressional Budget Office showing
the new reforms in the House America’s Affordable Health
Choices Act are deficit neutral:
“In keeping with our commitment to creating policy in a
fiscally responsible manner, Congressional Democrats pledged
that health care reform would be fully paid for and would not
contribute to the federal deficit. The CBO estimate confirms
that the newly proposed health reforms in the legislation meet
that commitment.
“There are net costs scored by CBO attributable to the Medicare
physician payment formula that are not offset. However, these
costs would not increase spending above what would be necessary
to simply maintain current Medicare physician reimbursement rates,
and under a budget resolution adopted by the House earlier this
year will not be subject to the House PAYGO rule.”
Next week, the House will consider statutory "Pay-As-You-Go"
legislation to reestablish the budget rules in place under the
Clinton Administration that turned deficits into surpluses. Passage
of this legislation will allow the costs of extending certain
current policies, including the spending necessary to continue
current Medicare physician reimbursement rates, to not be subject
to the House PAYGO rule. The costs of the Medicare physician
payment provisions in the bill to prevent the scheduled reductions
in physician payments and reform the formula to better align
incentives toward quality and efficiency are lower than the costs
of extending the SGR freeze and therefore will not be subject
to the House PAYGO rule.
