Highlights of the bill include additional funding to combat the national opioid crisis, cutting bureaucratic red tape to ensure that affordable medical devices and drugs are more efficiently brought to market, and expanding critical investments in medical research to find a cure for cancer and Alzheimer’s, all without adding to the deficit. I am pleased the 21st Century Cures Act also includes my legislation to provide Nevada with more resources for mental health services, and protects Medicare benefits for seniors. I applaud the House for passing this legislation, and I look forward to voting in favor of the 21st Century Cures Act here in the Senate,” said Senator Dean Heller. Background: Senator Heller is the lead author of two bills included in the House-passed 21st Century Cures Act. S. 2311 “Bringing Post-Partum Depression Out of the Shadows Act” - The maternal depression program will help states, like Nevada, provide new mothers who may be struggling with post-partum depression with comprehensive mental health services and support. S. 2349 “Medicare Advantage Coverage Transparency Act” – This legislation requires more transparency of Medicare Advantage and Prescription Drug benefits enjoyed by seniors throughout the state. S. 2349 also requires coverage to be outlined by Congressional district and zip code in order for Congress to see exactly who benefits from these programs and how these programs can be improved going forward. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
