Save Money, Save Lives Act

The Save Money, Save Lives Act removes a budget neutrality requirement that previously limited certain Medicaid demonstration projects. This change directly affects state and local health programs that use Section 1115 waivers to test innovative healthcare delivery methods. By repealing the specific budget neutrality provision, the bill allows these programs to operate without the strict financial constraints that were previously in place. The legislation also rescinds the funding that had been set aside for enforcing this requirement.
