MERIT Act lauded by leading Alzheimer's organizations, limits burdensome regulations and bureaucratic overreach
Press Release
Issues: Health and Health Care
With the future of medical exploration chilled by unelected bureaucrats, Ways and Means Health Subcommittee Republican Leader Rep. Vern Buchanan (R-FL) introduced bipartisan legislation to help ensure coverage of potentially life-saving drugs and new treatments for Medicare beneficiaries.
Rep. Buchanan said:
"The federal government should make it easier for seniors to access breakthrough treatments, not unreasonably restrict potentially life-changing drugs for our nation's most vulnerable patients. Unfortunately, the Biden administration and Democrats in Washington have continuously pursued policies that will stifle innovation, halt progress toward revolutionary cures and move manufacturing overseas -- particularly to China."
