Where the money goes
$6.9B across 11 tracked itemsThe largest verified line-items. This pie breaks down the biggest spending items in the bill — appropriations and mandatory (direct) spending — by category. Every dollar is quoted from the text; click any slice to read them. It is not necessarily every dollar in the bill (the smallest items may not be listed), and figures that aren’t spending — authorizations, guarantee ceilings, pay-fors, and carve-outs already counted — are deliberately left out and disclosed below.
Authorizations (a ceiling on future spending) — $998.1M
“There are authorized to be appropriated $X” sets a CAP on what a future appropriations bill may provide — it is permission, not money. Much of a landmark law’s headline figure is this. It is disclosed here, never summed into the pie, because the cash only exists if a later bill actually appropriates it.
- Authorization of appropriations for the 31 major medical facility leases (ceiling on future appropriations)$998.1M
Set-asides (already counted above) — $746.8M
A carve-out or reservation WITHIN a larger line-item already in the pie (e.g. a share of a fund reserved for a specific use). Shown for detail but NOT summed in — its dollars are part of the parent, and counting both would double-count.

How this was built
XML itertext parse of the GovInfo enrolled bill (each dollar mapped to its enclosing title/section); place-specific leases and mandatory appropriations taken verbatim from the text. Big-ticket direct-spending totals taken from the CBO cost estimate table of the enacted Senate-amended version (billions, $0.1B precision), verified as table-cell substrings after whitespace normalization. 30 of 30 sampled figures were re-located as exact strings in the source text. Source: mixed. Full bill text.
S. 3373 is an AUTHORIZING law (bill-type 'olc'), not an appropriations act, so it contains ZERO discretionary 'appropriation'-mechanism line items -> appropriated_total = 0. Its money takes two verbatim, bill-text forms. (1) DIRECT (mandatory) appropriations written into the text with 'there is appropriated ... out of any funds in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated': the $500M Toxic Exposures Fund seed (Sec 806), $922M enhanced-use leases (Sec 705e), $1.88B FY2023 lease appropriation (Sec 707a), and the FY2024-2031 ramp $100M->$650M (Sec 707b) totalling $6.932B. CBO classifies all of these as DIRECT SPENDING (mandatory), not discretionary appropriations, so they are tagged direct_spending and are the pie. (2) AUTHORIZATIONS: the Sec 702(c) $998,137,000 authorization of appropriations for the 31 major medical facility leases (tagged authorization, disclosed not spent). The 31 individual Sec 702(a) lease estimated-amounts sum EXACTLY to that $998,137,000, so the 18 largest shown here are tagged set_aside (a subset of the $998,137,000 parent, disclosed for detail, NEVER summed again) to prevent double-counting. (3) The bill's DOMINANT fiscal impact does NOT appear as a '$X for Y' line in the operative text: expanded health-care eligibility plus toxic-exposure presumptions. Per the nonpartisan CBO cost estimate of the enacted (Senate-amended) version (June 6, 2022; CBO publication 58177; hr3967_senate_version.pdf), this is $667.0B of direct-spending OUTLAYS over 2022-2031, of which $390.3B is current-law VA discretionary health spending merely RECLASSIFIED as mandatory via the Toxic Exposures Fund (a budget reclassification, not net-new money, and a SUBSET of the $667.0B). Following the project convention used for the IRA and H.R. 3746 (whose CBO headline figures are described in the notes, not added as line-items), these two CBO aggregate figures are DESCRIBED here but are NOT itemized as line_items: the $667.0B total ENCOMPASSES the bill-text mandatory appropriations above and the $390.3B is a subset of it, so adding either as a direct_spending line-item would have double-counted and inflated the pie ~100x (to ~$1.06T). CBO source canonical https://www.cbo.gov/publication/58177 (cbo.gov blocks automated fetch, HTTP 403; the PDF is reachable via the keyless Wayback archive and the $667.0B / $390.3B cells were confirmed as exact substrings).
