"In this blog, we report on an update to our earlier estimates of the potential mortality impacts of the administration’s cuts, based on an addendum to the CEPR chapter published this month (December 2025). A similar approach to our original estimates using financial data to the end of the fiscal year suggests that lives lost based on the decline in outlays (current spending) may be in the range of 500,000 to 1,000,000 and potential lives lost based on the decline in obligations (commitments to future spending) are between 670,000 and 1,600,000."
