U.S. Senator Roy Blunt (Mo.), Chairman of the U.S. Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies (Labor/HHS), spoke on the Senate floor ahead of the vote on the Labor/HHS funding bill. Blunt highlighted the importance of investing in research to find a prevention and cure for Alzheimer’s disease, noting that, in addition to the toll the disease takes on patients and loved ones, treating those with Alzheimer’s costs taxpayers $21 million every hour and, without a treatment or cure, will top $1.1 trillion by 2050 – about twice as much as the annual defense budget.
