Honors "ALS Awareness Month" and backs faster treatment for ALS patients — no new law, money, or program
The details
Most people would see no change in daily life. This House resolution states support for an "ALS Awareness Month." The text does not name which month. It creates no program and spends no money. It has no force of law. ALS is a nerve disease that takes away muscle control over time. There is no cure. The resolution notes that most people live 2 to 5 years after diagnosis. About 15 people in the U.S. are diagnosed each day. Veterans get it more often than people who never served. The House says it is committed to faster access to treatment and to easing costs for patients and caregivers. It also thanks families, caregivers, and researchers.
