Insiders Foresee One-Month Sequester, Effort To Give Agencies Flexibility On Cuts-insidehealthpolicy: Washington insiders, including FDA funding advocates, are bracing for across-the-board funding cuts to go into effect March 1 for at least one month while lawmakers work toward a government funding measure to replace the continuing resolution that expires at the end of March and also address the sequester.
