Senate Appropriations Committee Hosts JDRF Children's Congress

Hearing

Date: July 11, 2023
Location: Washington, D.C.
Issues: Minors and Children Health and Health Care

"Advocacy matters, and the JDFR Children's Congress are among our best allies in making the case for increased investments in research to find a cure. This is one of the reasons why I have partnered with Senator Collins on the Special Diabetes Program Reauthorization Act. At the same time, we must continue our efforts to pass the INSULIN Act, which Senator Collins and I have also authored and which comprehensively and permanently would solve insulin affordability. Until the day comes when we finally have a cure, no patient should be forced to risk their lives rationing their daily insulin. I am grateful to Senators Collins and Murray for their partnership on this effort and today's hearing. I am inspired to see the JDRF Children's Congress work with us in these efforts, showing everyone how committed the next generation is to fight for breakthroughs in this disease."
