Congress extends ALS funding as families push for care reform
Original: Congress extends ALS funding, but families still fighting for care cost progress

However, families affected by the disease say the hardest battle remains: the crushing cost of care. Advocates are pressing Congress to take up legislation that would ease the financial burden on patients and caregivers, warning that research dollars alone do not address day-to-day needs.
Why now: Renewed attention on ALS funding highlights an unresolved gap between research support and affordable patient care.
