Cancer research, China provisions lost from bipartisan deal
House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries on Friday blasted Republicans for prioritizing Elon Musk's budget ideas over child cancer research.
Musk helped to tank a bipartisan spending bill that included over $100 million for pediatric cancer research. The second funding bill pitched by House Republicans, which failed to pass on Thursday night, did not contain those funds.
The initial compromise bill also included new policy provisions to help kids with cancer on Children's Health Insurance Program and Medicaid travel across state lines to receive gene therapies in other states. It also had a provision to allow studies and clinical trials for kids with a combination of drugs and treatments.
