Alzheimer’s disease transcends political boundaries, affecting individuals and families regardless of political affiliation. The impact is vast and alarming, with over 7 million people currently living with the disease in the United States, including more than 1 million in just two states. As the prevalence of Alzheimer’s is projected to nearly double in the coming decades, addressing this issue is imperative.
This disease does not distinguish between borders or political ideologies. The shared urgency to combat Alzheimer’s is a rare unifying factor for lawmakers on opposing sides of the aisle. Initiatives to change the trajectory of Alzheimer’s are not mere options; they have become necessities. Policymakers must prioritize efforts to find a solution and allocate resources effectively to mitigate the growing impact of this disease on society.
