Allen Supports Bipartisan Cures Act

Statement

Today, the House passed The 21st Century Cures Act. This bipartisan and bicameral legislation modernizes our healthcare infrastructure, bringing it into the 21st century by accelerating the cycle of discovering, developing and delivering new cures and treatments. The Cures Act ensures America continues to remain at the forefront of biomedical innovation. This legislation passed the House by a vote of 392-26. Rep. Rick Allen (R-Ga.-12) released the following statement in support:

"Today Congress made history for the millions of Americans living with and fighting diseases. By passing the Cures Act, we can finally bring our healthcare innovation and infrastructure into the 21st Century--where it belongs. By removing the bureaucratic barriers and red tape surrounding the regulatory process, we can bridge the gap between the science of cures and the way we regulate these therapies.

We must keep America at the forefront of medical innovation and bring hope to patients and their loved ones across America by delivering lifesaving and life improving therapies-- the 21st Century Cures Act does just that."
