Health and Human Resources Division
Dealing with some of today's most important social policy issues
CBO's Health and Human Resources Division injects nonpartisan economic analyses into public policy debates about some of the most complicated policies and programs that affect the health and well-being of Americans. The division's staff research and write reports for the Congress, draft testimony to be delivered at Congressional hearings, perform detailed analyses of proposed legislation, and assess the impact of various legislative initiatives on the private sector.
In recent years, the division has analyzed some of the most hotly debated domestic policy issues before the Congress:
- Major proposals to change health insurance and the health care system
- The extent of health insurance coverage for children and adults
- The role of technological change in the growth of health care spending
- Evidence on the costs and benefits of health information technology
- The long-term financial status of Medicare and Social Security
- Modifications to Social Security to accommodate the aging of the baby-boom generation
- Trends in the variability of individual earnings and households' income over time
- Changes in the sources of income of low-income families with children
The Health and Human Resources Division is composed mainly of applied microeconomists who are interested in health policy, labor market analysis, and income security policy. Most have Ph.D.s in economics or public policy. The division also includes people with bachelor's degrees who are preparing to do further graduate work in economics, public policy, or medicine. |
