"Buddy" Carter (GA-01) today praised passage of the 21st Century Cures Act by the United States House of Representatives to pave the way for the next generation of disease cures and treatments. "This legislation is a game-changer in the way we treat disease," said Carter. "As a life long health care professional, I've seen diseases devastate the lives of far too many who came into my pharmacy. We've all been affected by disease in some way. Fortunately, health care innovation is better than ever before and groundbreaking medical breakthroughs are happening all around us. Unfortunately, our laws and agencies can't keep up preventing these incredible discoveries from reaching patients. That is why the legislation passed today is so important. Cures will break through these barriers allowing the development and delivery of new treatments and cures." The 21st Century Cures Act will: Remove barriers to increased research collaboration; Incorporate the patient prospective into the drug development and regulatory review process; Identify diseases earlier through personalized medicine; Modernize clinical trials; Fund the cancer moonshot initiative; Provide new incentives for the development of drugs for rare diseases, and; Help the entire biomedical ecosystem coordinate more efficiently to find faster cures. "Disease does not discriminate by political party and this legislation was crafted by the hard work of members from both sides of the aisle," said Carter. "I am proud to support this critical, bipartisan legislation today because families across the country deserve access to the best treatments and Cures will ensure that is possible." f t # e | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
