FreedomWorks Comments on Right to Try Passing Senate

FreedomWorks President Adam Brandon released the following statement after the Senate passed the Trickett Wendler Right to Try Act by unanimous consent:

"We applaud the Senate’s move to support right to try. Right to try will give hope to those facing the worst diagnoses by opening up treatments with good results that haven’t passed the entirety of FDA’s bureaucratic approval process.

"Chairman Greg Walden, whose home state of Oregon has passed right to try Oregon, should move Rep. Andy Biggs’ Right to Try Act out of his committee first thing in September. The bill has bipartisan support, and dozens of states have recently adopted right to try legislation.

"Vice President Mike Pence signed right to try as Indiana’s governor in 2015, and President Donald Trump has spoken up for right to try. This is an easy legislative win if we can get out of our own way."
