To repeal the Prevention and Public Health Fund 
http://capwiz.com/congressorg/issues/votes/?votenum=264&chamber=H&congress=1121 
Vote Passed (236-183, 13 Not Voting)  
This House bill would eliminate funding for the Prevention and Public Health  Fund, which was 
established by the health care law.  Supporters of the bill say  there is no accountability to 
determine where the money is spent.  Opponents of  the bill say it would defund important 
prevention programs.  The Senate is  unlikely to take up the measure.  
Rep. Larry Bucshon voted  YES
