Preventive Health Savings Act

This bill changes the law that governs the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), which estimates the cost of proposed federal laws. When leaders of the budget committees and the committees in charge of a bill ask, the CBO Director would have to decide whether that bill would lower federal spending over the long term through preventive health care. If so, the Director would include a description and estimate of those savings for the period from 10 to 30 years in the future, along with the basis for the conclusion. These long-term estimates would be supplementary only and could not be used to judge whether a bill complies with federal budget rules.
