What it does
The Public Health Funding Restoration Act would amend the Prevention and Public Health Fund under the Affordable Care Act to restore annual funding to $2 billion starting in fiscal year 2026 and for each fiscal year thereafter. The bill aims to strengthen prevention and public health programs at the federal, state, local, Tribal, and territorial levels, supporting efforts to prevent infectious diseases, chronic conditions, and injuries through evidence-based initiatives like vaccinations, tobacco cessation, and childhood lead poisoning prevention. By reaffirming the fund’s importance, the legislation seeks to improve public health outcomes and reduce long-term healthcare costs.
