Summary of Bill S 786

Bill 119 s 786, 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 overall public health and reduce healthcare costs in the long run.

The Prevention and Public Health Fund was established in 2010 as part of the Affordable Care Act to support various public health initiatives, such as immunizations, chronic disease prevention, and community health programs. However, in recent years, the fund has faced budget cuts and uncertainty, leading to a decrease in funding for crucial preventive health programs.

By fully funding the Prevention and Public Health Fund, Bill 119 s 786 seeks to ensure that these vital public health programs receive the necessary resources to continue their work in promoting wellness and preventing diseases. The bill underscores the importance of prevention in addressing health disparities and improving the overall well-being of the American population. Overall, Bill 119 s 786 aims to reaffirm the commitment to prevention in the US healthcare system and provide the necessary funding to support public health initiatives that can ultimately lead to a healthier and more prosperous society.
