Alzheimer’s disease has entered the 2016 presidential campaign.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called for $2 billion in annual funding for research toward finding a treatment and a cure.
“We owe it to the millions of families who stay up at night worrying about their loved ones afflicted by this terrible disease and facing the hard reality of the long goodbye to make research investments that will prevent, effectively treat and make a cure possible,” the Democratic front-runner said in a statement Tuesday.
