At a hearing by the House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Reform last week, medical experts backed the Comprehensive Addiction Resources Emergency (CARE) Act (H.R. 2569). The legislation, introduced by Committee Chair Rep. Elijah E. Cummings (D‐Maryland) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D‐Massachusetts), is modeled on the bipartisan Ryan White Comprehensive AIDS Resources Emergency (CARE) Act passed three decades ago to combat the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
