The Balanced Budget Act of 1997, ({{USStatute|105|33|111|251|1997|08|05}}), was an omnibus legislative package enacted by the United States Congress, using the budget reconciliation process, and designed to balance the federal budget by 2002. {{Bill Clinton series}}According to the Congressional Budget Office, the act was to result in $160 billion in spending reductions between 1998 and 2002. After taking into account an increase in spending on Welfare and Children's Healthcare, the savings totaled $127 billion. Medicare cuts were responsible for $112 billion, and hospital inpatient and outpatient payments covered $44 billion.[1] In order to reduce Medicare spending, the act reduced payments to health service providers such as hospitals, doctors, and nurse practitioners.[2] However, some of those changes to payments were reversed by subsequent legislation in 1999 and 2000.
