Extends funding for diabetes programs for Type 1 patients and Native Americans.
This bill would continue funding for two important diabetes programs through late 2027. It funds research and treatment for Type 1 diabetes, and prevention and care for American Indians and Alaska Natives. Without this bill, these programs would run out of money and could stop helping those who rely on them.
Today, the Special Diabetes Program for Type 1 Diabetes and the Special Diabetes Program for Indians do not have authorized funding past the current government budget year. If this bill becomes law, it would set aside a total of $720 million to pay for these programs. This would ensure they continue to operate through December 31, 2027. This total includes $320 million for each program over the next two budget years. It also adds $80 million for the first three months of the government's budget year 2028.
