President Biden May 28 submitted to Congress his budget request for fiscal year 2022. The budget primarily includes proposals from President Biden’s American Jobs Plan and American Families Plan. The budget request is not binding, but can act as a guide for Congress and the Administration as they debate health care issues this year.

AHA members on May 28 received a Special Bulletin highlighting specific requests that impact hospitals and health systems.
