Save Money, Save Lives Act

This bill seeks to remove the budget neutrality requirement for specific Medicaid demonstration projects, thereby amending Public Law 119-21. It achieves this by repealing Section 71118 of that public law, which previously mandated that these projects under Section 1115 of the Social Security Act must not increase federal spending. This change allows for greater flexibility in designing and implementing innovative Medicaid programs without the strict financial limitation of being budget neutral. Additionally, the legislation mandates the rescission of any funds that were appropriated under the now-eliminated Section 71118(b). This ensures that financial allocations tied to the repealed budget neutrality provision are withdrawn. The overall effect is to ease financial restrictions on certain Medicaid initiatives, potentially enabling broader or more costly projects.
