Today's hearing saw overwhelming bipartisan support for @CMSGov to reverse its decision to block access to FDA-approved Alzheimer's drugs. We're grateful to our advocates in the room and members of Congress who held @BrooksLaSureCMS accountable. bit.ly/3nf4s2q #AccessNow
Thank you @RepAnnieKuster for your continued support and acknowledging our advocates here to ask @CMSGov for #AccessNow to FDA-approved Alzheimer's treatments.
And it's clear from today's testimony by @BrooksLaSureCMS that @CMSGov doesn't have a plan to help people access these treatments under any scenario. People living with Alzheimer’s deserve #AccessNow and #MoreTime.
In @HouseCommerce Health hearing, @BrooksLaSureCMS refers to traditional FDA approval--as opposed to accelerated approval-- as "full approval," in response to questions on coverage of Alzheimer's therapies. The FDA has said that accelerated approval is still a full approval.
“When did @CMSGov decide or get authority to operate like a scientific regulatory body when that’s the FDA’s job?" Thank you, @RepMGriffith, for describing the inappropriate action taken by CMS that blocks #AccessNow to FDA-approved Alzheimer’s treatments.
Thank you @RepBarragan for being a leader, calling out the inequity in the @CMSGov policy blocking access to FDA-approved Alzheimer’s treatments. #AccessNow
Thank you @RepLBR for recognizing our Alzheimer’s advocates at today’s hearing. “The reason why you wear purple is because this is not a red issue or a blue issue. It’s an American issue. So thank you so much for your advocacy.” #AccessNow #MoreTime
“[This hearing] is about making sure Americans have access to FDA approved drugs.” Thank you, @RepLarryBucshon, for highlighting how @CMSGov’s coverage decision is blocking access to approved treatments for those living with early Alzheimer’s. #AccessNow
“I echo the sentiments of my colleagues.” Thank you, @RepMMM, for sharing how Alzheimer’s has impacted your family and for adding your voice to the resounding bipartisan support for #AccessNow to FDA-approved Alzheimer’s drugs.
Thank you @RepJohnJoyce for supporting #AccessNow to FDA-approved treatments. “I would like to add my voice to the list of those concerned of what @CMSGov has decided on restricting coverage for anti-amyloid treatment for Alzheimer’s disease.”
“The one thing I can say, both sides of us absolutely agreed on — we need to work on the Alzheimer’s drug, and make sure that people have access.” Thank you Chair @RepGuthrie & so many others on the committee for your powerful, bipartisan support for #AccessNow
Passionate in purple, our advocates filled today’s hearing with @BrooksLaSureCMS to demand #AccessNow to FDA-approved Alzheimer’s drugs. The bipartisan support in the room was overwhelming. It’s clear that @CMSGov must reverse their unfair and unprecedented decision.
Thank you @RepAnnaEshoo for your leadership. People living with early Alzheimer's need #AccessNow so they can have #MoreTime with loved ones and to remain independent.
“If doctors don’t know, if patients don’t know, and Medicare doesn’t seem to know what this registry entails, how are Medicare patients going to get the drug beginning July?” I asked CMS how Medicare patients can access a new treatment for Alzheimer’s: youtu.be/Fl_divq7SZo
Thank you @RepMGriffith for supporting the Alzheimer's community and our need for #AccessNow to FDA-approved treatments.
We must clear the red tape at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to allow for greater patient access to health insurance and critical treatments, like those treating Alzheimer's Disease.
It is always an honor to collaborate with dear friends like @ladygaga and @GayleKing to bring light to the connecting power of music for anyone who has Alzheimer’s. To learn more about @alzassociation’s mission, visit here: alz.org. #ENDALZ
