Senator Tom Harkin took to the Senate floor today to stress the importance of keeping wellness and prevention measures in the merged health reform bill. Meaningful reform, Harkin argues, means shifting the focus of the system from patching people up after they get sick to keeping them out of the hospital in the first place.

Treating preventable diseases related to stress, obesity and poor nutrition account for 75 percent of our annual health care expenses. A sharp new emphasis on prevention will improve our public health and rein in sky high health care costs - two goals central to reform.
