The U.S. House of Representatives has voted overwhelmingly in favor of the approval of the 21st Century Cures Act, with a final vote of 392-26.
“With today’s overwhelming bipartisan vote, we took a giant leap forward on the #Path2Cures,” Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Fred Upton (R-MI) and Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO), co-authors of the bill, said. “21st Century Cures is the innovation game-changer that patients, their loved ones and the nation’s researchers and scientists so desperately need. The White House has expressed its enthusiastic endorsement of this critical legislation. So it’s now on to the Senate, where we are just one final vote away from delivering #CuresNow.”
