A resolution recognizing the important work of the United States Preventive Services Task Force.

This resolution would reaffirm the Task Force's scientific methods and call for its work to continue without interruption so Americans keep access to proven screenings, counseling, and preventive medicines.

• Families and patients: It would reiterate that preventive services the Task Force gives an A or B grade are covered without deductible or copay under the Affordable Care Act and notes the Task Force collectively recommends 54 covered services and medicines.
• Clinicians and health systems: It would support continued use of the Task Force's transparent, methodical reviews for screening tests, counseling on healthy behaviors, and preventive medications across children, adults, older adults, and pregnant women.
• Research infrastructure and AHRQ: It would highlight recent AHRQ funding and staff cuts and press for uninterrupted support from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality and Evidence-based Practice Centers.
• Department of Health and Human Services and Task Force members: It would urge HHS to reconvene the Task Force, allow members to complete their staggered four-year terms, and keep membership free of substantial conflicts of interest.
