The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), a federal agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is one of the largest purchasers of health care in the world. Medicare, Medicaid, the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) and the Health Insurance Marketplace provide coverage for more than 160 million Americans. The United States Government does not discriminate in employment on the basis of race, color, religion, sex (including pregnancy and gender identity), national origin, political affiliation, sexual orientation, marital status, disability, genetic information, age, membership in an employee organization, retaliation, parental status, military service, or other non-merit factor. Federal agencies must provide reasonable accommodation to applicants with disabilities where appropriate.

We will eliminate an entire alphabet soup of departments, while preserving their core functions by merging them into a new organization called the Administration for a Healthy America or AHA. This overhaul will improve the health of the entire nation — to Make America Healthy Again.

How is CMS assessing and addressing the health system’s impact on climate change? How can this improve patient health and reduce costs? The Decarbonization and Resilience Initiative will help us answer these questions when it launches as part of the Transforming Episode Accountability Model (TEAM) in 2026. This initiative will allow acute care hospitals to voluntarily report their greenhouse gas emissions and receive technical assistance to help them reduce their carbon footprint. To learn about this initiative, read the blog published in today’s JAMA Network: bit.ly/40CdhVd. For additional resources on this subject visit: ?
