Durbin, Young Introduce Congenital Heart Futures Reauthorization Act
Statement
Issues: Health and Health Care
“Heart defects are the most common birth defect, and if you ever get the devastating news that your precious little one has a serious medical condition, you hope there’s a treatment or care option for them. Thankfully, we have seen an incredible improvement in screening and surgeries for children born with heart defects—saving thousands of lives and increasing survival into adulthood. With this bill, we can improve research, data collection, awareness, and workforce training so we can establish a standard of care for the millions of Americans born with CHD.”
