Letter to the Honorable Mike Enzi regarding Budgetary Effects of S. 1881 1 (August 3, 2015)

handle is hein.congrec/cbo2439 and id is 1 raw text is: CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE Keith Hall, Director U.S. Congress Washington, DC 20515 August 3, 2015 Honorable Mike Enzi Chairman Committee on the Budget United States Senate Washington, DC 20510 Re: Budgetary Effects of S. 1881 Dear Mr. Chairman: Last week, CBO provided the following information in response to a request for an estimate of the budgetary effects of S. 1881: S. 1881, which would prohibit federal funds from being made available to Planned Parenthood Federation of America or any of its affiliates, could affect direct spending for the Medicaid program; however, CBO has not determined whether the legislation would increase or decrease the program's spending. Completing an estimate of such effects would take some time. CBO estimates that the bill would not affect spending subject to appropriations, as any discretionary grants provided under Title X of the Public Health Service Act would probably be awarded to other health clinics or medical practitioners. At the request of your staff, this letter provides some additional information regarding the potential direct spending effects of S. 1881. Enacting the bill would probably affect spending for Medicaid in two ways; one would reduce the program's outlays, the other would increase them: * CBO expects that if S. 1881 was enacted, most of the Medicaid services that would have been obtained from Planned Parenthood Federation of America would instead be obtained from other health clinics and medical practitioners-but not all of them. As a result, there would be some decline in the use of Medicaid services.
