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.

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