The second Trump administration has made it a core mission to cut spending on public health programs. But ironically, one agency in its crosshairs is pivotal to cost-effectiveness research in health care delivery.
The Agency for Healthcare Quality and Research, housed within the Department of Health and Human Services, is aimed at helping health care organizations and providers to deliver safe, high quality and equitable health care.

Schumer, Jeffries demand major health care concessions to keep government funded
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.), House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (N.Y.) and other high-ranking Democrats say that any government funding package to keep federal departments operating past Sept. 30 must include major concessions from Republicans to repair what they say is fast becoming a national health care crisis.
“House and Senate, Hakeem and I are in total agreement, what the Republicans are proposing is not good enough for the American people and...
Democrats dig in against GOP budget strategy, heightening odds of shutdown

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on Wednesday warned that House Democrats are likely to reject a Republican funding package that keeps spending largely at current levels, as Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) is forecasting.
And across the Capito...

Schumer warns GOP government funding proposals don’t have the votes to pass
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) sent an explicit warning to Republican leaders Wednesday that the proposals they are considering to fund the government and avoid a shutdown on Oct. 1 do not have enough Democratic votes to pass the Senate.
“What the Republicans have proposed is not good enough to meet the needs of the American people and not good enough to get our votes,” Schumer told a group of reporters just off the Senate floor.

Jeffries suggests ‘clean’ CR is nonstarter for Dems
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) strongly suggested Wednesday that Democrats would oppose an extension of current government funding levels if Republicans go that route to avoid a shutdown.
Jeffries and House Democrats were fervently opposed to a Republican-only funding bill in March, warning it would undermine federal programs at the expense of low-income people.

GOP pressure is mounting on Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) to extend expiring Affordable Care Act tax credits, as a number of rank-and-file Republicans push leaders to prevent the popular subsidies from expiring at the end of the year.
Eleven GOP lawmakers have endorsed legislation extending the benefits for an additional year, punting the issue beyond the midterm elections. Most of them are vulnerable front-liners facing tough reelection contests — and wary of the ...
