Call for Action: Cure Hepatitis C Act of 2025 

The American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) applauds Senators Bill Cassidy (R-LA) and Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) for their bipartisan leadership to eliminate hepatitis C. The Cure Hepatitis C Act of 2025 (S.1941) represents a unique opportunity for Congress, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and the health care community to partner to cure a devastating virus while saving more than $6 billion in the 10-year budget window.  

“Despite the availability of curative therapy for over 10 years, people are still dying from hepatitis C. We must seize this opportunity to get these effective therapies to those affected. I am confident that this legislation will facilitate that. AASLD stands ready to work with Senators Cassidy and Van Hollen to pass this legislation as quickly as possible to prevent more unnecessary deaths from this virus,” said AASLD President Grace Su, MD, FAASLD. 

You can take action now. Show your support for the bill by contacting your senators to advocate for its passage.
