Lloyd Doggett speaking out on the need for increased research funding | 2016-11-30 | 2016 | 2016-11 | Democrat | House | TX | Lloyd Doggett | D000399 | doggett.house.gov | legacy | I spoke on the House floor for substantial, certain funding to develop lifesaving cures and treatments. But the new version of the 21st Century Cures Act provides about a quarter of the funding per year as the version that I voted for last year—and this new funding isn’t even guaranteed. Patients deserve better, especially if the trade-off is loosening safety standards on drugs and medical devices while getting no relief from high drug prices. I hope a “no” vote will give my colleagues in the Senate a chance to try to make this bill a little better. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
