I'm also proud of the provisions that will improve the health care options for veterans, help secure the southern border, and combat the opioid epidemic that is impacting so many families across North Carolina. After giving a boost to our Armed Forces with the passage of the NDAA earlier this week, Congress today approved a funding bill that delivers big wins for North Carolina,said Senator Burr.I'm proud this funding package includes my legislation providing much-needed tax relief to families and businesses still rebuilding from the devastation left by Hurricanes Florence and Michael. It also includes my provisions to improve access to life-changing medical treatments by modernizing Medicare reporting and payment requirements, increase funding for Alzheimer's and cancer research at the National Institutes of Health, and enhance our biodefense countermeasures. I applaud my Senate colleagues for supporting these important measures and I look forward to this legislation being signed into law.
