The U.S. Senate passed a major defense, labor, #health & education funding bill today on a bipartisan 85-7 vote. Pluses in health #research, health #workforce, other initiatives now to reconcile w/House which hasn't moved its bill yet.. /1 @CardinalWaypt senate.gov/legislative/LI…
Can Congress get #health funding done before the new FY19 begins Oct. 1? Maybe. Holdover temporary funding then finish the work in a post-election lame duck session? Depends. /2 @CardinalWaypt
This is more certain: 2019 work for 2020 #health spending will be much more difficult. The new Congress elected this November will get this ticket after the 2yr Bipartisan Budget Act of 2018 $$$ expires,, w/big deficits in view. /3 @CardinalWaypt cbo.gov/publication/53…
How is your organization positioned for the coming #health crunch? Are you ready? /fin @CardinalWaypt cardinalwaypoint.com
