This outcome reflects the collective resolve of all 1,733 signers who advocated for this medical standard.

Stop waiting around and start the screening. We have the tech so use it!
Why isnt this already happening?? Its such a fast and easy test. No brainer.
This should be mandatory everywhere. My nephew had a heart defect that wasn't caught until it was almost too late. It is a simple test that could save so many lives.
Cheap, fast, saves lives. Just do it.
My daughter was born with a CHD. If they had done this simple screening she would have had surgery days sooner. Please make this happen for all the new babies.
