Based on the historical spending patterns of both the PPHF and the Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan (PCIP), CBO estimates that enacting the legislation would result in a decrease in net direct spending of $840 million over the 2013-2023 period; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. Enacting H.R. 1549 would not affect revenues. H.R. 1549 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA). ESTIMATED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT The estimated budgetary impact of H.R. 1549 is shown in the following table. The costs of this legislation fall within budget function 550 (health).
