WASHINGTON, DC - Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton (R-MI) and Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO), sponsors of the 21st Century Cures Act, issued the following statement ahead of tomorrow’s House vote:
“We need a game-changer to fight disease, and we have it with 21st Century Cures. It’s the most transformational bill to innovate our health care system since the National Cancer Act became law 45 years ago," said Upton and DeGette. “This is truly a watershed moment for patients, their loved ones, medical professionals, researchers and scientists. The momentum has never been stronger in this three-year effort to deliver safe treatments and more hope, and we look forward to a strong supporting vote. We are thrilled to have a resounding endorsement from the White House. It’s finally time for #CuresNow."
