If approved, the reallocation would provide an addition $250 million for health workforce training enhancements, $55 million for high-risk health insurance pools operated by states, $35 million for domestic HIV/AIDS prevention and research, $30 million for state AIDS drug assistance programs and $30 million for health insurance consumer information, according to the report.
These increases would be offset to decreases in funding to other HHS programs including a $184 million reduction in funding for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s public health emergency preparedness grants, according to the report.
