Dear Official

I am writing to you to express my strong support for H.R. 5539/S. 3131 the "ORPHAN Cures Act". I urge you to support this critical piece of legislation.

The ORPHAN Cures Act proposes important changes to title XI of the Social Security Act to better support the development and availability of treatments for rare diseases. More than 90% of rare diseases have no FDA approved treatment leaving 27 million patients waiting.

By encouraging the development of more orphan drugs, the ORPHAN Cures Act will bring new hope to patients and their families.

This legislation represents a beacon of hope for countless individuals affected by rare diseases. Your support for the ORPHAN Cures Act will show a commitment to advancing healthcare innovation and improving the lives of those with rare diseases.

Thank you for considering my request. I look forward to your response and to seeing your support for this vital legislation.
