1 June 22, 2015 Dear Member of Congress: The 144 undersigned organizations representing patients, health professionals, hospitals, scientists, patients, employers, and insurers strongly oppose the fiscal year (FY) 2016 Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies appropriations bill as posted by the subcommittee on June 16. We are gravely concerned by the assault on science, particularly the elimination of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). AHRQ s mission is to generate the evidence necessary to build a high-quality, high-value health care system. Put simply, AHRQ-funded research is being used in hospitals, private practices, health departments, and communities across the nation to make our health care system less complex and costly. Its research fuels innovation and improves quality, identifies waste, and enhances efficiency in the health care system. It is used by patients, their loved ones, and their health care professionals to make the right health care decisions for themselves and their families. This research helps Americans get their money s worth when it comes to health care. We need more of it, not less. To terminate AHRQ in the current fiscal environment is pennywise and pound foolish. Our nation spends $3 trillion annually on health care the largest share of which are federal purchases through Medicare, Medicaid, the Federal Employees Health Benefits Plan, insurance exchanges, TRICARE, and veterans health care. Americans deserve reliable information on how to deliver the best possible care, at the greatest value, with the best outcomes. AHRQfunded health services research provides those answers. We are deeply disappointed by the Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies appropriations bill and especially the attack on AHRQ. We urge you, in the strongest possible terms, to oppose any bill that terminates this agency and its important research. For more information on the Friends of AHRQ, contact Emily Holubowich at or eholubowich@dc-crd.com.

5 July 13, 2015 Dear Senator: The 185 undersigned organizations representing patients, health professionals, hospitals, scientists, medical schools, employers, and insurers are very concerned by the 35 percent reduction in funding for the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) in the Senate s fiscal year (FY) 2016 Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies (Labor-HHS) appropriations bill. AHRQ s mission is to generate the evidence necessary to build a high-quality, high-value health care system. Put simply, AHRQ-funded research is being used in hospitals, private practices, health departments, and communities across the nation to make our health care system less complex and costly. Its research fuels innovation and improves quality, identifies waste, and enhances efficiency in the health care system. It is used by patients, their loved ones, and their health care professionals to make the right health care decisions for themselves and their families. This research helps Americans get their money s worth when it comes to health care. We need more of it, not less. Lawmakers face difficult choices in funding myriad priorities with increasingly limited resources, but deep to cuts to AHRQ in the current fiscal environment is pennywise and pound foolish. Our nation spends $3 trillion annually on health care the largest share of which are federal purchases through Medicare, Medicaid, the Federal Employees Health Benefits Plan, insurance exchanges, TRICARE, and veterans health care. Americans deserve reliable information on how to deliver the best possible care, at the greatest value, with the best outcomes. AHRQfunded health services research provides those answers. Without AHRQ and health services research to determine what treatments work best, for whom, and in what settings, the cures and treatments developed by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will fall short on their promise to patients. We recognize the reduction in AHRQ s budget authority is largely a function of the historically low and grossly inadequate subcommittee allocation for health research and other critical public health, education, and workforce training programs in this bill. We hope lawmakers will work together to enact sequestration relief, increase the Labor-HHS subcommittee allocation, and restore AHRQ s budget authority to $364 million in the final FY 2016 appropriations legislation.
