Boosts funding and expands care for people with sickle cell disease
This bill would set aside more money for programs that help people with sickle cell disease. It would also expand these programs to cover complications of the disease, offering broader support to those affected.
Today, a federal program sets aside $4,455,000 each year to prevent and treat sickle cell disease. If this bill passes, the program would set aside $8,205,000 each year from the government's budget year 2025 through 2029, and would also cover the prevention and treatment of complications from the disease.
