Right to Try, a 2018 law that allows terminally ill patients to access experimental drug treatments before the drugs are out of the approval process, is getting another shout-out tonight in Pence’s video. I think tonight’s speaker explained it much better than last night’s — which is important, because I don’t think it’s a widely known piece of legislation. I’m a little confused by why it’s getting so much play. Maybe it seems like an appealing idea? Or maybe it’s a testament to how few banner pieces of legislation have passed during Trump’s presidency?
