Summary From a public health perspective, there is much to celebrate among the many competing health care reform proposals that have been offered on Capitol Hill. Yet one underlying and potentially worrisome subtext to almost all existing reform options is a continued lack of recognition of the growing link between public health and national security. Legislative decisions being made today on health care reform could have a deleterious impact on US efforts to address the growing threat of bioterrorism. As a result of globalization, these technologies have spread to more entities, in more countries, in more regions of the world than ever before. Yet a formidable challenge in the age of globalization is government' inability to effectively monitor and regulate these emerging technologies -- and the growing commitment and wherewithal of terrorist organizations to exploit these advances for hostile purposes
