Today's hearing will be taking a close look at the United States Preventive Services Task Force, created in 1984 as an independent, volunteer panel of 16 national experts in prevention, primary care, and evidence-based medicine and tasked with making recommendations about clinical preventive services which could work to improve the health of all Americans.
Joseph R. Pitts outlines the purpose of the Preventive Services Task Force.

It is embarrassing that in the most capable country in the world, in the most powerful elected bodies in the world that we effectively have done almost nothing to improve the health care of Americans since this law has been passed.
It seems illogical that the USDA would be given the exclusive authority to oversee and regulate catfish only while the FDA regulates all other seafood.
I for one in a portion of my life when I was a boy lived in a household where we didn't have access to health care.
It is unfortunate that we have a Congress of the United States, the majority parties that want to just tear down this law.
