| abstract | - Tommy Thompson is a Canadian producer and writer for Kyle XY starting in the second season.
- After serving 14 years as Governor of Wisconsin, Tommy Thompson became the 19th Secretary of Health and Human Services on February 2, 2001. He told Department employees his first day on the job that he planned an “aggressive agenda” in leading HHS. In the next four years, Secretary Thompson led HHS forward in every area imaginable. By the time he left office in 2005, Medicare was providing more comprehensive care to more American seniors than ever before. The nation was spending more on medical research than at any time in history. HHS was better prepared than ever to respond to terrorist attacks or any other public health emergency. More community health centers were providing more and better care to more needy Americans than ever before. Preventive health was among the nation’s top health care priorities. Children’s immunization rates were at a record high. A record number of children were receiving health care. The United States emerged as the unquestioned leader in fighting HIV/AIDS around the world. And families in Afghanistan and Iraq have hope for a healthier future after decades of neglect under brutal regimes. Among the highlights: Medicare Modernization Act of 2003. Secretary Thompson was the point man in ensuring the passage of the Medicare Modernization Act. Thanks to this historic legislation, America’s seniors and people living with disabilities for the first time have access to a prescription drug benefit under Medicare, as well as new preventive benefits that will ensure they are getting the care they need to prevent more serious illness down the road. Public Health Preparedness. In the aftermath of 9/11 and the anthrax attacks of October 2001, Secretary Thompson led the way in rebuilding the nation’s public health infrastructure. While there is still a long way to go, he oversaw the investment of $14.8 billion in our nation’s public health system to ensure we are better prepared than at any time in our nation’s history to respond to a bioterror or any other public health emergency. AIDS. The United States today is the unquestioned leader in fighting HIV/AIDS around the world following billions of dollars in investments at home and abroad and a renewed emphasis on prevention, research and treatment. Secretary Thompson served as the Chairman of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria and urged the Administration to significantly increase its investment in fighting the diseases in developing nations. Patient Safety. Secretary Thompson launched the “Decade of Health Information Technology” and has worked tirelessly to encourage health care providers to bring their practices into the 21st century to reduce medical errors, save lives and save money. Flu. The budget to fight flu includes a seven-fold increase in four years, including initiatives to stabilize demand, develop a new-generation vaccine and the purchase of antiviral medications to treat people who become ill. Additionally, in August 2004, Secretary Thompson unveiled the department's draft Pandemic Influenza Response and Preparedness Plan. This plan outlines a coordinated national strategy to prepare for and respond to a flu pandemic. Though public health professionals for years talked about the need for such a plan, it took Secretary Thompson’s leadership to get it done. Healthy Lifestyles. Secretary Thompson led the way in promoting healthy lifestyles at the national, state and local levels, as well as in workplaces around the country, by encouraging Americans to eat healthier, quit smoking and become more active. Medical Research. HHS completed the doubling of the research budget at the National Institutes of Health, while working to develop next generation vaccines to fight the flu and bioterror agents, such as anthrax and smallpox. Afghan Health. On Easter 2003, Secretary Thompson and Afghan health officials opened the improved and refurbished Rabia Balkhi Women's Hospital in Kabul as part of the administration's commitment to assist the people of Afghanistan, especially in the area of maternal and child health. After Secretary Thompson's trip to Afghanistan in October 2002, HHS worked with the Department of Defense to refurbish and provide training for staff at the hospital, which – after years of civil war and neglect – was in terrible condition, with no working plumbing, broken windows and equipment, and few drugs and supplies.
