Key Points

This resolution officially recognizes March as a time to learn about dangerous blood clots. These clots usually start in the legs but can travel to the lungs and become life-threatening.
About 900,000 Americans are affected by these blood clots every year. They cause up to 100,000 deaths annually, and one out of four people who have a clot in their lungs die without any warning.
Many of these deaths are preventable. The Senate wants to highlight that people who are pregnant, have cancer, or are older have a higher risk of developing these conditions.
These health issues cost the United States about $10 billion in extra medical bills every year. By teaching people the warning signs, the government hopes to save lives and reduce healthcare costs.
