The annual Congressional budget deadline is approaching placing in jeopardy a number of important publichealth programs that impact American lives.
Intensive community-based mental health care for members of the armed forces and veterans
The CCBHC began as a demonstration program, piloting the clinics in select states to gather data on the effectiveness and feasibility of expanding the model to more locations. Since then, the program has expanded to 113 CCHBCs across 21 states. However, the latest iteration of eight participating demonstration states, including Oregon, Oklahoma, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania saw their federal funding.
If Congress allows the CCHBC demonstration program to end the results would have devastating effects across the nation including:81% of CCBHCs be forced to close programs or eliminate servicesCreated in 1970, the Title X Family Planning Program is a federal grant program that provides contraception counseling, breast and cervical cancer screenings; testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections ; and pregnancy diagnosis and counseling.
In March, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services finalized new regulations that made major changes to the program, including a prohibition from any sites that receive grant monies from providing abortion referrals and mandate referrals to prenatal services for all pregnant patients., calling the rule unethical and a violation of the patient and provider relationship.
To mitigate these effects, Senators have attempted to rescind the federal government regulation within the Labor, Health and Human Services and Education FY2020 appropriations bill; however, these negotiations have not been successful. If a solution can is not reached, the current regulations will remain in effect and access to care will continue to be curtailed.
