brain tissue. in 2015 and 2016, a panel of expert neuropathologies convened by the national institute of no logic diseases and stroke -- neurologicgic -- diseases and stroke determined that cte was a unique disease that could be easily distinguished from other diseases. they went on to say there's a pathognomonic lesion for cte, a brain lesion found in cte not found in any other disorder and is specific for cte. the other misinformation about cte is that it's very rare. it's only been diagnosed in a few hundred people. millions of people have played contact sports, but cte is not rare. we would not be able to find 218 cases of cte in 291 athletes over the past eight years if it were rare. if you don't look for something, don't know how to look for something, and don't find it, that doesn't mean that something is rare. it means it's underrecognized. recent brain bank studies have shown that cte is present in 5% of the general autopsy population. now if you were to ask me how to limit risk for cte in mma, in addition to the minimum standards previously suggested by representative denham, i would say don't a

the bill before us will help direct $4.8 billion to the national institutes of health, including $1.6 billion for the brain initiative, to improve our understanding of diseases like a.l.s., parkinson's and alzheimer's, our nation's most costly disease. mr. president, we spend $263 billion a year caring for people with alzheimer's disease. of that amount, approximately $160 billion comes from the medicare and medicaid programs. if the current trajectory continues as our population is growing older, this disease will bankrupt the medicare and medicaid programs. and that's why i'm so pleased to see the initiative, the brain initiative funded in this bill, and also the work that we're doing in the appropriations committee to boost funding for alzheimer's disease and other dementias, so that we can finally find effective treatments, a means of prevention or perhaps even a cure for this disease that brings so much heartache not only to those suffering from it, but their families as well. our bill will also help provide $1.8 billion for the vice president's cancer moonshot. we all know that vice president biden h
