"In Charleston, I joined Senator Tim Scott and Jennelle Stephenson to announce a historic step forward in the fight against sickle cell disease. Thanks to a first-of-its-kind partnership between HHS, drugmakers, insurers, providers, and patient advocates, we're making life-changing gene therapy available to Americans on Medicaid — at low cost, and with the potential to cure. Already, 35 states have opted into this initiative. Our goal: all 50 by the end of the year. Jennelle’s story is proof — this isn’t just about saving money. It’s about saving lives, restoring hope, and letting our children dream again" - Secretary Kennedy
