AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would create an Urban Health Transformation Program run by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. It would provide $10 billion per year for fiscal years 2027 through 2031 to states and territories that submit an approved urban health plan by December 31, 2026. Half of each year's money would be split equally among approved states, and half would be divided based on factors such as urban population and the number of urban health facilities. States would use the money for at least three listed activities, such as payments to providers, health technology, workforce recruitment, and addiction and mental health services, and would not have to provide matching funds. The bill also provides $200 million in fiscal year 2026 to carry out the program.
