America spends more than $2 trillion annually on health care, more than any other nation. Yet, tens of millions of Americans still suffer every day from preventable illness and chronic disease. TFAH outlines ten top priorities, advocating a health strategy driven by prevention, including: Combating the Obesity Epidemic, Preventing Tobacco Use and Exposure, Preventing and Controlling Infectious Diseases, Preparing for Potential Health Emergencies and Bioterrorism Attacks, Recognizing the Relationship Between Health and U.S. Economic Competitiveness, Safeguarding the Nation's Food Supply, Planning for Changing Health Care Needs of Seniors, Improving the Health of Low-Income and Minority Communities, Reducing Environmental Threats and Promoting Disease Prevention. Also included are crosscutting recommendations for Holding Government Accountable for Protecting the Health of Americans.
