AAMC President and CEO David J. Skorton, MD, issued a statement on the American Jobs Plan, a $2 trillion proposal which includes support for transportation infrastructure, broadband access, the care economy, and research and development. “The AAMC welcomes the Biden administration’s comprehensive infrastructure proposal, the American Jobs Plan, to help address the nation’s long-term infrastructure needs and current economic challenges. We appreciate the plan’s historic new investments in research and development, broadly, given the role that innovation plays in both improving quality of life, driving economic growth, and the nation’s global competitiveness. As the administration and lawmakers examine further opportunities to invest in and build a sound foundation for future generations, we look forward to working with them to consider the fundamental role that medical research, health care, and public health infrastructure play in our nation’s path forward.”
