Bill > HR751

This bill establishes a Panel of Health Advisors within the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) to provide technical expertise and recommendations on health and healthcare issues. The panel will consist of 15 members appointed by the chairs and ranking minority members of the House and Senate Budget Committees, as well as the CBO Director. Members will be selected for their expertise in areas like health economics, medical sciences, healthcare management, and related fields, and will serve staggered three-year terms, with a maximum of two terms per member. The panel's primary responsibilities include providing technical recommendations to improve CBO's health-related studies and cost estimates, meeting at least annually, and producing an annual report for the Budget Committees that details their work and recommendations. The panel must focus on specific areas such as health policy studies, cost estimates for healthcare legislation, impact models, and health-related publications. The CBO Director will publish the annual report on their public website and may establish systems for ethical disclosure and confidentiality. Members will serve as special government employees and will be appointed based on their professional qualifications rather than political affiliations.
