Another attempt to defund AHRQ

Earlier this morning, the House Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Subcommittee on Appropriations posted draft legislation that calls for the termination of AHRQ.

SEC. 226. (a) Termination.—Effective October 1, 2015, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality is terminated.

The last time AHRQ was headed for defunding, we posted on some of the important work the agency does. You’ll find that here.
