Preventive Health Savings Act
This bill amends the Congressional Budget Act to require the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) Director to assess whether health-related proposals could reduce future federal spending through preventive health measures. It directs the CBO to document and project these potential savings in budget analyses when requested by specific congressional committees (Budget, Finance, Health, or Energy committees in either chamber). The law defines "preventive health" as evidence-based actions that prevent disease and promote wellness, and mandates the CBO to include these savings estimates in budget projections for up to 20 years beyond the current budget cycle. The bill affects how federal spending reductions from preventive health programs are scored, not the programs themselves.
