Currently, many adults do not participate in clinical trials because insurance companies refuse to cover routine care expenses for patients who choose to enroll in a clinical trial. Increasing participation in clinical trials is one of the best ways to speed new cures to the doctor’s office, the hospital bedside, and the infusion room. Fortunately, Congresswoman Deborah Pryce has introduced a measure, H.R. 2676, which would require insurance companies to cover routine care expenses for patients enrolled in clinical trials. However, Congresswoman Pryce’s measure needs your help. Please contact your member of Congress to urge them to cosponsor H.R. 2676.
