Moments ago with my support, the House of Representatives passed H.R. 6, the 21st Century Cures Act. This bipartisan bill will bring our national healthcare system up to speed in the 21st century by taking advantage of the latest science and expediting the availability of safe and more effective treatments for all Americans. Mr. Speaker, today there are more than 10,000 known diseases and conditions, but the United States of America only has cures and treatments for roughly 500 of them. Diseases such as cancer, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's will take the lives of roughly 1.8 million people this year in the United States alone. This 21st Century Cures Act will help change that, and it is an important step toward helping save the lives of our love ones. Having served for nearly 30 years in the healthcare field, I applaud my colleagues on both sides of the aisle for passing this legislation. ____________________
