The co-chairs of the Congressional Hepatitis Caucus, Reps. Grace Meng and Hank Johnson, are circulating a sign-on letter in the House regarding the need for increased funding to combat viral hepatitis and opioid-related infectious diseases.
This letter will be sent to the Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Subcommittee, requesting that the Fiscal Year 2020 appropriations bill includes $134 million for viral hepatitis programs at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and at least $58 million to fully fund a recently passed program to eliminate opioid-related infectious diseases.
The deadline to sign on to this letter is Tuesday, March 26th.
Please email and/or call your Representative today and urge them to sign on!
