📣 🏛️ Advocacy Action Alert!
HAEA Grassroots Advocates, we have some great news from Capitol Hill! Yesterday, the House passed its appropriations package—and it includes two important bills from the HAEA legislative agenda:
- The Accelerating Kids Access to Care Act, which creates a pathway for children on Medicaid to access out-of-state specialty care.
- The Give the Kids A Chance Act, which reauthorizes the FDA priority review voucher program for pediatric rare disease drugs in the pipeline.
We’re excited to see these critical bills included and are hopeful they will move forward in the Senate as early as next week. We’ll update you once we have more information on the Senate votes.
