We thank House Appropriations Committee Chair @TomColeOK04 (R-OK), Ranking Member @rosadelauro (D-CT), and Subcommittee Chair @Robert_Aderholt (R-AL) for including a $100 million increase for the @NIH in the FY27 LHHS bill. This funding bill improves upon the president’s budget proposal in other meaningful ways, and we recognize the significance of these incremental improvements. But for American patients and the economy, incremental improvements won’t drive the progress we need or even ward off failure. To stop heartbreaking diseases like ALS, cancer, and Alzheimer’s, we must make more than tentative progress. Going bold isn’t optional; it’s the only path forward to the health, prosperity, and security that Americans deserve.

🚨 Louisiana providers: Beginning 1/1/2027, newly-enacted SB 465 will shorten insurer claim response times and reduce the recoupment/retroactive denial period from 18 to 12 months. A win for providers that means faster decisions, greater payment certainty, and less admin burden.
