HHS Secretary Testifies on FY22 Budget Before Appropriations Subcommittee


Subcommittee members addressed several issues during the hearing including medical research, the health care workforce, gun violence, the opioid crisis, maternal health, mental health, and the care for unaccompanied migrant children at the border.
In his opening statement, Secretary Becerra noted, “COVID-19 shed light on how health inequities and lack of Federal funding left communities vulnerable to crises. The President’s discretionary request invests in America, addresses racial disparities in health care, tackles the opioid crisis, and puts us on a better footing to take on the next public health crisis.”
Chair of both the full and subcommittee Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.) and subcommittee Ranking Member Tom Cole (R-Okla.) praised the budget’s proposed increased investment in the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). “We now have faced a pandemic in our lifetime. ... I firmly believe our investments in NIH over the past several years made us better positioned to address the challenges of coronavirus. We cannot let that commitment to sustained increases waver,” Cole said in his opening statement.
