SENATE AMENDMENT THREATENS
PUBLIC HEALTH AND PREVENTION FUND
Among the first items of business for the Senate
when it returns from its summer recess in September
is the consideration of the Small Business Jobs
and Credit Act (H.R. 5297), including an
amendment from Sen. Mike Johanns (R-NE) that would
threaten to nearly eliminate the $15 billion
Prevention and Public Health Trust Fund created by
the Affordable Care Act. Sen. Johanns’ amendment
(No. 4531) would repeal a provision of the health
reform law designed to raise revenue by reducing
noncompliance with the nation’s tax laws, including
the 1099 reporting requirements for corporations,
and use the public health trust fund as an offset
for the lost revenues.
