2 The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics is the world s largest organization of food and nutrition professionals with over 75,000 members. The Academy is committed to improving the nation s health and advancing the profession of dietetics through research, education and advocacy. Public policy and advocacy are core functions of the Academy and are critical to achieving its mission empowering its members to be the nation s food and nutrition leaders and its vision optimizing the nation s health through food and nutrition. The Academy supports research and monitoring to develop the evidence base that guides our policy decisions. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics legislative and public policy priorities focus on four areas: > > Disease Prevention and Treatment >Lifecycle > Nutrition > > Healthy Food Systems and Access > > Quality Health Care This map has been developed to give a better understanding of our federal public policy issues that will help us meet our commitment to improving the nation s health.

9 The Affordable Care Act of 2010 SENATE Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions; Committee on Finance HOUSE Committee on Energy and Commerce; Committee on Ways and Means U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS); Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC); Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Prevention Services. Enables preventive services, including intensive behavioral counseling (which mirrors the Academy s definition of medical nutrition therapy) for obesity and cardiovascular disease, recommended by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) with a Grade A or Grade B rating to be covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and non-grandfathered private insurance plans, and to be included in the package of essential health benefits in every plan available through state health insurance marketplaces. Requires preventive services to be provided without copayments or deductibles. Prevention and Public Health Fund: Community Transformation Grants. ( ) This grant program helped local governments, tribes, and territories address chronic diseases and health disparities using evidence-based strategies. Healthy eating and prevention and control of high blood pressure and high cholesterol were two of the grant s five priority areas. Community Transformation Grants (CGT) were funded by the Prevention and Public Health Fund, which was established by the ACA. CTG is expected to reach more than 4 out of 10 people in the US (approximately 130 million people). Restaurant Menu Labeling (not yet implemented). Restaurants and food vendors with 20 or more outlets nationwide will be required to post calories on menus and menu boards (including drive-through), with additional nutritional information (fat, saturated fat, carbohydrates, sodium, protein, and fiber) available in writing upon request. These requirements will also apply to vending machines managed by companies that operate at least 20 vending machines. Employee Wellness Programs. The ACA expands the ability of employers to reward employees who achieve health improvement goals. Programs include participatory wellness programs which are available to employees regardless of individual health status (i.e. programs that reimburse the cost of gym membership), and nondiscriminatory health-contingent wellness programs which require individuals to meet a specific standard related to their health to attain a reward (i.e. programs that reward workers for achieving a specified cholesterol level or weight). Reimbursement through Medicare Part B, the Medicare Trust Fund, Medicaid, private insurance companies, and state health insurance marketplaces. Specific expenditure will depend on use of service. The Omnibus Appropriations Act of 2014 reallocated funds originally allocated to the CTGs to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention s diabetes and stroke prevention programs, while also providing $80 million in new Community Prevention Grants to help communities build multisector partnerships to improve community health. None. Restaurants and vendors that operate more than 20 outlets or machines will be responsible for covering the cost of posting calories. None. Employers may opt to offer wellness programs or not. The expense of employer-provided wellness programs for employees is deductible as a business expense (as was true prior to the passage of the ACA). > > Chronic disease prevention advocates > > Consumers > > Hunger, poverty, public health, senior, and children s advocates > > Local: Departments of Health and/or Social Services; Insurance Departments/Commissioners > > Private employers > > Private insurance companies > > Restaurant industry > > Self-funded employers > > State: Departments of Health and/or Social Services; Insurance Departments/Commissioners > > Worker, labor, and consumer advocates Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries, and individuals purchasing health insurance through state health insurance marketplaces.

11 These federal laws are also included in our policy efforts. The Academy carefully monitors any proposed changes or necessary reauthorizations to assure alignment with the Academy s goals. National Nutrition Monitoring and Related Research Act (NNMRRA). This legislation was enacted by Congress in 1990 to measure the health and nutrition status of the U.S. population, to assess knowledge and attitudes about diet and health, and to measure food consumption and quality of the food supply. Today, more than 50 surveillance systems are operative. Goals of NNMRRA included the scientific evaluation of outcomes; the collection, analysis, and dissemination of data related to outcomes; the identification of at-risk groups/populations; the establishment of baseline/progressive data; and the provision of data to assess impacts of policy and programming. This data is used in the report as the basis of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA), which are utilized to structure most nutrition assistance programs (i.e. WIC, School Meals). There are five components to this legislation: 1. Nutritional status and nutrition-related health measurements (National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey [NHANES]); 2. Food/nutrient consumption (What We Eat In America [WWEA], Total Diet Study [TDS]); 3. Knowledge, attitudes, and behavior assessments (Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System [BRFSS]); 4. Food composition and nutrient data bases (USDA National Nutrient Data Base [NNDB]); 5. Food supply determinations (Functional Needs Support Services [FNSS]). Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). Passed to ensure that drugs are both safe and effective before they enter the marketplace, FFDCA became law in 1938 and has since been amended many times. Drugs that can be regulated under FFDCA include compound drugs, such as total parenteral nutrition (TPN). In 2013, the Drug Quality and Security Act amended the FFDCA to ensure greater access to compound drugs and to improve the quality of these drugs. Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). Signed into law in 2011, FSMA is the most comprehensive reform of our food safety system in more than 70 years. The law addresses gaps in our food safety system by expanding FDA authority to regulate foods through more inspections at food facilities, mandated product recalls, increased oversight to certain farms, and tightened record-keeping requirements. The law requires food processing, manufacturing, and shipping facilities to analyze safety hazards, and to design and implement risk-based controls to prevent outbreaks from occurring. FSMA contains several provisions related to dietary supplements, subject to regulations for food under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. The ultimate goal of FSMA is to ensure the safety of our nation s food supply by shifting the focus to the prevention of rather than strictly response to food contamination and disease outbreak. The Food and Drug Administration will continue to issue proposed rules for the implementation of FSMA, which are available for public comment. This Act has not been fully funded. Nutrition Labeling and Education Act (NLEA) was signed into law in 1990, and requires the nutrition label on food and beverage items to include: (1) the serving size; (2) the number of servings or other units per container; (3) the number of calories per serving and derived from total fat and saturated fat; (4) the amount of total fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, total carbohydrates, complex carbohydrates, sugars, total protein, and dietary fiber per serving or other unit; and (5) subject to conditions, vitamins, minerals or other nutrients. It also required certain vitamins and minerals to include nutrient information in their labeling. The information provided on the nutrition label must also be conveyed in a way that is easily understood by the public. The Nutrition Facts Panel is currently being updated. Proposals submitted by the FDA includes the inclusion of new categories on the label such as added sugars, sodium change levels, and other items. NLEA sets forth the circumstances under which nutrition and health claims may be made for foods, and regulates how claims, including claims involving cholesterol, saturated fat, or fiber are presented on the label. NLEA provides an important nutrition education tool for the public, the nutrition facts label, and has far reaching impacts for dietitians in all areas of practice. Title V of the Social Security Act (SSA) was enacted by Congress in Title V provides Maternal and Child Health Services block grants to states, to promote and improve the health of mothers and children, as well as build state and community-level capacity and systems (i.e. state departments of health). HHS s Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) administer these state grants. The specific aims of the Title V Maternal and Child Health program are to: assure access to quality care, especially for those with low-incomes or limited availability of care; reduce infant mortality; provide and ensure access to comprehensive prenatal and postnatal care to women (especially low-income and at risk pregnant women); increase the number of children receiving health assessments and follow-up diagnostic and treatment services; provide and ensure access to preventive and child care services as well as rehabilitative services for certain children; implement family-centered, community-based, systems of coordinated care for children with special healthcare needs; and provide toll-free hotlines and assistance in applying for services to pregnant women with infants and children who are eligible for Title XIX (Medicaid).
