In September 2021, the US White House released a pandemic preparedness plan — American Pandemic Preparedness: Transforming our Capabilities. The White House says that the aim is to "lean forward and catalyze the advances in science, technology, and core capabilities required to protect the Nation against future and potentially catastrophic biological threats, whether naturally-occurring, accidental, or deliberate." The total cost of the plan is $65.3 billion, to be invested over 7 to 10 years. However, as of late 2021 there does not appear to be enough support in Congress for authorization of the funding amount requested in the American Pandemic Preparedness plan.

In March 2022, US Senators Patty Murray (D-WA) and Richard Burr (R-NC) introduced the Prepare for and Respond to Existing Viruses, Emerging New Threats, and (PREVENT) Pandemics Act. On March 15, the Senate Health, Energy, Labor and Pensions (HELP) committee voted 22-2 to advance the legislation. The PREVENT Pandemics Act is intended to strengthen US pandemic preparedness, including via authorization of ~$1.9 billion in new spending

The purpose of this question is to understand if, within the next decade, at least $30B will be authorized toward US pandemic preparedness via new legislation.
