Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Health and Health Care

Today following the announcement that the Energy and Commerce Committee has included the the Andrea Sloan Cure Act, which Congressman McCaul authored, into its discussion document for the 21st Century Cures Act, McCaul released the following statement.

McCaul:"The Energy and Commerce Committee deserves to be recognized for its extraordinary hard work in drafting a bipartisan bill to accelerate the pace of 21st century cures for patients. The committee leadership has embraced an inclusive and collaborative process the product of which will ensure the U.S. continues to lead the world in medical innovation. I am particularly grateful to the committee for including in its discussion draft the Andrea Sloan CURE Act which will give patients and doctors up front information about how to access experimental treatments, when appropriate, and provide drug companies more certainty about the FDA's compassionate use process.
