Budget Control Act: Potential Impact of Sequestration on Health Reform Spending

The Budget Control Act of 2011 (BCA) established new budget enforcement mechanisms for reducing the federal deficit over the 10-year period FY2012-FY2021. The BCA placed statutory limits, or caps, on discretionary spending for each of those 10 fiscal years, which will save an estimated $0.9 trillion during that period. In addition, it created a Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction (Joint Committee) with instructions to develop legislation to reduce the federal deficit by at least another $1.5 trillion through FY2021. In the event that Congress and the President were unable to enact a Joint Committee bill-as turned out to be the case-then automatic annual spending reductions would be triggered beginning in FY2013. Under the BCA, the reductions would be achieved by a combination of sequestration (i.e., an automatic across-theboard cancellation of budgetary resources) and lowering the caps on discretionary spending. The President was required to order a sequestration of FY2013 budgetary resources on January 2, 2013. However, that deadline was delayed until March 1, 2013, by the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012.
