The House should move quickly and pass this bill. It will provide the necessary incentives and support to help more States increase their Newborn Screening regimes. Which in some states are horrendously lacking.

I am elated this bill passed so quickly! So many disorders can be managed if diagnosed early. The Ashkenazi Jewish population basically eradicated Glycogen Storage Disease 1a from their population in recent years through genetic testing. Their incidence of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome incidentally dropped dramatically at the same time. This bill is a step in the right direction to reduce suffering and improve quality of life of our children.

Michael and Iris - are you two financially benefiting from the passing of this bill? Did you even read it? It gives authority to the CDC to experiment on newborn babies that test positive for whatever disease (which is not restricted to a disease or stated by the way) they feel like.
To test all babies and house this information in a database reminds me of the Hitler Administration of Nazi Germany.
Will you be the first guinea pigs to go for testing and experimental treatment. I think we should screen for dumb people like you and give Hitler a call back.
Lauren
Ashkenazi Jews Iris - come on.
Are you an American citizen or a nazi? Are you genetically related to a nazi? We need to test you!

This bill will help save many babies quality of life by preventing many disorders. I am a new mother of a child who suffered acute neonatal jaundice from not being tested for G6PD at birth...due to the oversight my baby suffered brain damage and now our perfect baby born Valentine's Day is forever damaged. This bill will help save many other babies lives!!!!
