How would I vote on this bill?

Money must be allocated to seven categories within the Health and Human Services portion of HR2055 by the U.S. House of Representatives Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education and Related Services. I feel that when researching each of the seven areas, there is a tremendous responsibility of this subcommittee to decide how much funding goes into each category, when to increase the amount of funding, as well as when to decrease the amount of funding. In addition, this subcommittee must determine if each category will be funded at all. After reading about each area, I am in agreement with the way each category was funded. I was pleased to read that the subcommittee included the changes that had occurred in each category and how the funding differed from the previous year as well as in regards to the President's request. I also agree with Kay Granger, TX and her stance on funding the Center's for Disease Control because of the tremendous impact health departments have on disease prevention in our communities today. Over all, I was in agreement with the bill.
