(CNN) Conservative Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Lauren Boebert of Colorado were the only two House members to vote against a bill that would reauthorize the National Marrow Donor Program. The bill H.R.941 , or the TRANSPLANT Act, overwhelmingly passed the House in a 415-2 vote on Thursday night. There were 12 lawmakers who didn't cast a vote. The bill would reauthorize a program that matches bone marrow donors and cord blood units with patients who have leukemia and other diseases. The bill would help thousands of people diagnosed with leukemia and other diseases by reauthorizing the National Marrow Donor Program and the National Cord Blood Inventory for another five years.
