Status: There is a folder with raw data and a few tables extracted as CSV. There is still a lot of data work that needs to be done.
Description: I’ve downloaded budget justifications for Indian Health Service (IHS) from 2009-2020 (more are available and easily downloaded). This includes tables and additional info on the previous years’ budget and a justification for the coming year. It is broken down by types of healthcare facilities. I have a python script that reads in the tables from a PDF into a CSV. I have not done much with these data but would be happy to go over them if someone is interested! One interesting aspect is that the funding is given regionally (12 regions) based on historical factors but not so much on present need. This is not a great setup for health but could be a source of quasi-experimental variation.
