Abstract: "The current public health system is broken. It is chronically underfunded and outdated. Modernizing public health is urgently needed to protect and improve the health of Americans. Prevention, preparedness, and public health are vital to the wellbeing of families, communities, workplace productivity, U.S. competitiveness, and national security. The U.S. is falling behind as Americans become more unhealthy and less protected, and health care costs skyrocket. This Blueprint for a Healthier America is a federal policy guide for the next President, Administration, and Congress with expert recommendations to revitalize the nation's ability to protect the health of all Americans."
