  4. The Cuts • Part 2 • Sequestration - 10 years of additional cuts • $110 billion a year • $55 b in Defense • $55 b in Non Defense • Many, but not all, low-income entitlement programs are exempt • Medicaid, SNAP, TANF, SSI, Pell Grants, UI, some childcare, most child welfare Part 1 Spending caps were put in place on discretionary spending for both defense and non defense programs. $1 trillion in cuts over 10 years.

  5. Dollar Impact Clark County Public Health receives $2,285,802 a year in Federal funding (25% of our budget). Sequestration = at least an 8.4% cut At least $192,000 a year in additional cuts

  9. At the core As local public health, all the cuts above us (Federal and State), roll down to us We have already cut $5.5 million annually (33% of our budget) And Eliminated 71 positions (47% of our staff) Nationwide: 40,000 public health jobs have been cut already (20% of the workforce)

  10. Risks from Additional Cuts Public safety Healthy starts for children Health care costs increase even faster
