Current Sign On Letter
RE: Conference on FY 2010 Labor-HHS-Education Appropriations (H.R. 3293)
Dear Conferee:
The undersigned organizations urge you, during House-Senate conference deliberations on the FY 2010 Labor-HHS-Education Appropriations bill (H.R. 3293), to provide the highest possible funding level for health programs.
The importance of discretionary health programs and activities has never been more important as it is now with unemployment continuing to rise, the numbers of uninsured Americans increasing and the overall health of the U.S. population declining. Complicating this confluence of challenging factors is the return this fall of swine flu. Discretionary health programs are the only health safety net for millions who have lost their jobs, or their health insurance, and the first line of defense for everyone in protecting against H1N1 influenza. They also fund the nation’s primary investment in biomedical, behavioral and health services research as well as other activities directed at preventing and mitigating disease and disability. These programs should be funded at the highest level provided in either the House, or Senate, version of the FY 2010 Labor-HHS-Education Appropriations bill.
