I can't believe they're trying to pass this bill! It's just a band-aid solution that doesn't address the real issues with healthcare access for ALS patients. This bill only reauthorizes the provisions of the current Act through 2031, without making any significant improvements or changes. As someone who has a family member affected by ALS, I know firsthand how important it is to have comprehensive and effective therapies available. This bill falls short and fails to truly benefit those who need it most.

I support this bill. It helps provide critical therapies for those with ALS. This will benefit many individuals affected by this disease.
