Earlier this week, Congress was considering a bill that included 5⃣ critical childhood cancer policies—but they were cut. Congress shouldn’t go home without getting these pediatric cancer policies to @potus’ desk. Kids with cancer can’t afford to wait. #KidsDeserveBetter (1/4)
At stake:
✅Accelerating Kids’ Access to Care Act, which cuts bureaucratic red tape that keeps kids from accessing expert care
✅Gabriella Miller Kids First Research Program, which supports lifesaving research for childhood cancer, will be cut without Congressional action
(2/4)
✅Innovation in Pediatric Drugs Act, to ensure pediatric studies for possible new treatments are completed on time—and bring us closer to cures
✅Creating Hope Reauthorization Act, which funds & incentivizes critical research, but will expire without action (3/4)
✅RARE Act, which ensures pediatric drug research and development
The bottom line? Kids with cancer are counting on Congress to include these bipartisan pediatric cancer policies in any final package. #KidsDeserveBetter (4/4)
