Periodically, we will be using this space to bring you analysis of legislation and regulations of interest to the members of the American Geriatrics Society. Today’s analysis provides an overview of the #CBOScore (an estimate of costs and spending anticipated from proposed legislation) for the American Health Care Act (AHCA). The CBO estimate on Medicaid is of particular concern to us given that it is projecting that Medicaid spending would be reduced by 25% by 2026; so too is the elimination of the Community First Choice option, which would decrease funds for home- and community-based services (more on both below). AGS staff are working to alert key members and committees of both Houses to our concerns. This includes sharing with their offices the statement we issued last week outlining those elements of AHCA that would be harmful to older adults.
