The U.S. House of Representatives today approved the 21st Century Cures Act by a vote of 392-26.
"With today's overwhelmingly bipartisan vote, we took a giant leap forward on the #Path2Cures," said Energy and Commerce Chairman Fred Upton (R-MI) and Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO), co-authors of the bill. "21st Century Cures is the innovative game-changer that patients, their loved ones, and the nation's researchers and scientists so desperately need.
