AMIA Joins CHF Letter Urging Congress to Reject HHS Budget Cuts

AMIA joined Coalition for Health Funding’s letter, signed by over 500 health and research organizations, strongly opposing the Administration’s draft FY 2026 budget proposal for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which includes a one-third cut to discretionary funding. The coalition warns such cuts would severely harm the U.S. public health and research infrastructure, jeopardizing efforts against diseases, mental health crises, and more. They urge Congress to reject the proposal and instead support sustained investments in HHS agencies to protect public health, support scientific advancements, and maintain the nation’s global leadership in health care innovation.
