 U.S. Department of
Health & Human Services: Budget in Brief FY 2005
The President's FY
2005 Budget for the Department of Health and Human Services
reflects the Administration's ongoing
commitment to enhance the health, well-being, and safety of our
Nation's citizens. The $580 billion proposed
by the President will enable the Department to continue working
with our partners in State and local governments, and
in the private and volunteer sectors to improve health benefits,
strengthen our defense against bioterrorism, expand
access to health care, and serve populations in need. The
Department of Health and Human Services was given a number of
challenges by the Administration, many of which
have been accomplished. We increased access to health care,
completed the doubling of the National Institutes of
Health budget, and launched the Global AIDS Initiative. We have
also made great strides in building the capacity of
grass-roots organizations to meet the needs of our citizens, and
in expanding the network of care for the treatment of
substance abuse.
