The six-month reauthorization of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/115th-congress\/house-bill\/3823\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">H.R. 3823<\/a>) also includes provisions to extend a few expiring public health care programs. Health care measures in the bill included short-term extensions of the Teaching Health Center Graduate Medical Education (THCGME) program and the Special Diabetes Program for Indians, as well as a three-year extension a of Medicare demonstration allowing patients with weakened immune systems to receive in-home care.\n<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>\nThe extension was needed to keep the FAA running past Sept. 30, when the agency&rsquo;s current legal authority expires. Lawmakers ended up proposing a short-term patch after they were unable to agree on a longer reauthorization, because House transportation leaders wanted to include a controversial plan to separate air traffic control from the federal government.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nNotably, the bill did not include an extension of the Children&rsquo;s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), community health center funding, or a slate of Medicare &ldquo;extenders&rdquo; that technically expire on Saturday (although many can be funded retroactively). Instead, as House Rules Committee Chairman Pete Sessions (R-TX) said during a House floor debate yesterday, GOP leaders believe that that the Sept. 30 expirations of funding are not &ldquo;dire or urgent&rdquo; because states have enough money to get through the end of the year. With respect to the community health centers program, Sessions added that the program &ldquo;will not have to access mandatory apportions until early December.&rdquo;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before leaving Washington for the week, lawmakers in both chambers voted yesterday on a bill (H.R. 3823) to extend federal aviation programs before a Saturday deadline and provide tax relief for people affected by recent hurricanes.
