## Summary

**Protecting the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force's independent, evidence-based role in shaping covered preventive care.** 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.
