On the recordFebruary 10, 2015
I thank the gentleman from Virginia for joining us and for his commitment to this very serious issue. There are approximately 5.1 million Americans who have Alzheimer's today, and it is expected to substantially grow. As the baby boomers come into their latter years, we would expect to see as many as 13 million Americans with this disease in the years ahead. It will be an incredible challenge for this Nation. I now yield to the gentleman from New York (Mr. Higgins) for him to join us and share his thoughts on this issue.
