Act Now to Preserve Prevention Funding –Save prevention fund in less than a minute

The health reform law contains the support of the Prevention and Public Health Fund to invest in prevention and community health. The fund has already met preventive milestones towards tobacco cessation, physical activity, healthy eating and disease prevention.

This instrumental fund is in danger due to an amendment by Senator Mike Johanns (R-NE) to divert the fund for another bill, the Small Business Jobs and Credit Act.
