This health reform legislation is the type of commonsense solution that will lead to lower cost and better quality care for Arizona families.” The 21st Century Cures Act modernizes research programs at the National Institute of Health and the drug approval process at the Food and Drug Administration to accelerate bringing cures to market while protecting patients. This legislation promotes promising medical breakthroughs to address some of our most costly health challenges including, $1.8 billion for the cancer “moonshot” program, $1 billion over two years to combat the opioid epidemic, and $1.6 billion for brain-related diseases like Alzheimer’s. The bill also restructures behavior health programs to improve the quality of care delivered to individuals facing mental health crises. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
