The details

The Senate also backed three goals: more awareness, earlier diagnosis, and more research into cures. The resolution spends no money. It gives no agency new orders. It does not change what any health plan covers. The Senate notes that more than 30 million people here live with a rare disease. It counts more than 10,000 known rare diseases. About 95 percent still have no treatment approved by the FDA. That is the agency that clears drugs for sale.
