title: Healthy debate.
abstract: Physicians advocated passage of Texas legislation to decrease the burden of vaccine-preventable disease, bolster cancer prevention and research, protect Texans from cigarette smoke, and curb obesity. The Texas Medical Association and the Texas Public Health Coalition supported bills in this year's budget-conscious session that also would reduce health care costs and decrease the toll of disease.
