 Health & Human
Resources Performance and Accountability Report: Fiscal
Year 2003
In 2003, the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)
marked
its 50th anniversary as a cabinet-level agency. The change and
growth we have experienced in those 50
years is enormous. In terms of budget
and programs, we have become the largest department in the
Federal
Government, with almost a quarter of total federal outlays. We
administer more grant dollars than all
other federal agencies combined. Our
Medicare program processes more than 1 billion claims per year.
Our Food and Drug
Administration alone regulates products that represent 25
cents
of every dollar in U.S. consumer spending. In so many ways, HHS is
the federal agency that most affects
Americans in their everyday lives.
