Summary of Bill HR 1715

Bill 119 HR 1715, also known as the Prevention and Public Health Fund Full Funding Act, aims to fully fund the Prevention and Public Health Fund and emphasize the significance of prevention in the US healthcare system. The bill highlights the importance of investing in preventive measures to improve public health outcomes and reduce healthcare costs in the long run.

Overall, Bill 119 HR 1715 aims to prioritize public health and prevention by fully funding the Prevention and Public Health Fund, ultimately working towards a healthier population and a more sustainable healthcare system in the United States.
