Dr. Michael C. Burgess Preventive Health Savings Act
This bill amends budget scoring rules to require the Congressional Budget Office to account for long-term savings from preventive health programs when evaluating legislation. It directs the CBO to assess if a bill reduces future government costs through evidence-based preventive health services (like screenings or vaccinations) and include those savings in budget projections. The change affects how Congress scores the fiscal impact of health-related bills, requiring them to consider savings over 20 years (not just the current budget cycle). It does not create new programs but changes the budget analysis process for preventive health measures.
