The Society for Women’s Health Research strongly urges Congress to pass the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015



While no deal is perfect, the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2016 replaces sequestration equally for both defense and nondefense over the next two years. Failure to pass this critical legislation will hinder scientific discovery, compromise public health programs, and delay patients’ access to innovative medical treatments.

As a member of NDD United, an alliance of more than 2,500 national state, and local organizations working to protect investments in core government functions, SWHR believes that the deal provides a path towards a bipartisan agreement on appropriations to fund the federal government for the remainder of fiscal year 2016, avoids a government shutdown, and provide increases for the federal health and research agencies.

SWHR strongly supports the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 and urges Congress to avoid the addition of any policy riders that would hinder the bill’s passage.
