Warren renews push for $100 billion medical research funding boost

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Rep. Yvette Clarke (D-N.Y.) are reintroducing a bill to provide an infusion of $100 billion over 10 years for the National Institutes of Health and Food and Drug Administration. They say the funding boost would help fight a future outbreak after COVID-19.

“Now more than ever, we need my bill with Congresswoman Clarke to ensure the federal government fully invests in the medical breakthroughs in disease prevention, diagnoses, and cures to help counter future outbreaks and to allow everyone to receive the best treatments available,” Warren said.
