Rep. Fattah Commends the Administration for "All-Out Assault" on Alzheimer's and Other Brain Diseases
Statement
Issues: Health and Health Care
Congressman Chaka Fattah (D-PA), the leading Democratic appropriator for government-sponsored brain research, issues this statement upon release of the Obama Administration's plan for fighting Alzheimer's Disease:
"The human and social cost of Alzheimer's Disease upon our nation exceeds even the dollar figure, which is $200 billion this year and rising. The Obama Administration is to be commended for their continued commitment toward research funding focused on developing cures and treatments for the debilitating disease. The Administration priority to prevent and effectively treat Alzheimer's by 2025 is indeed a critical expression of the national will for an all-out assault on this and other brain diseases."
