In the beginning… Michigan’s Brook and Brielle Kennedy, Chairman Upton’s inspiration, drew a picture of “the key to cures” ahead of the Health Subcommittee vote on the 21st Century Cures Act.
Over the past two weeks, the Cures initiative has moved through the Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee and full committee, enjoying momentum from a continued flood of support. For more than a year, committee members have brought patients, innovators, care givers, regulators, researchers, and other thought leaders to the table for an open and collaborative conversation. Their common goal: building a 21st Century health care system that embraces personalized medicine and advances in technology, encourages greater innovation, supports more research, and streamlines the system so patients ultimately gain access to more cures and treatments more quickly. As committee members prepare to take the next step in the legislative phase, here’s a look back at the past two weeks of 21st Century Cures.
