“This bill is a culmination of four years of hard work from both political parties. Republicans and Democrats worked together to reauthorize the NIH and streamline regulations at the FDA to speed the discovery, development and delivery of cures to patients. The work product is the culmination of an open process.
“This bill will become law and it will unite the medical research community. There are things in this bill that I have worked on for 10 years that will help find cures sooner rather than later. I'm tired of telling parents of sick children - 'I can't help you.' This is something we can all be proud of. We can now tell parents and others battling disease there is hope. There is a future!”
