    Another move to help the American people. Bravo.

    Waiting for the Left Frenzy to immediately attack the President for this obvious great move...


    President Trump signs the "Right to Try Act"
    WASHINGTON     -- President Trump signs S. 204, the “Right to Try Act” Wednesday afternoon.

    In March, the House passed legislation aimed at giving seriously ill patients increased access to investigational drugs, a bill championed by Vice President Mike Pence.

    "Right to Try" is named for Jordan McLinn, a second grader from Indianapolis who advocated in Washington for the bill alongside Pence.

    Nice job Mr. President. There is no reason someone with a terminal illness shouldn't be able to CHOSE a treatment that might save their life.

    Seems the libs who have responded so far would just tell them to shut up, and go home and die. Why are libs ALWAYS against CHOICE unless it results in a dead baby?

    Are you against people having a choice to do what they want with their own bodies?

    Good legislation with some real bad parts.

    Be careful of being pickpocketed by those who supposedly care about you.

    So now the Republicans favor Choice? Like perhaps legslizing drugs, or the right to die, or the morning after pill.

    And this isn't actually a choice since you have had to try about every other treatment first and be ineligable for clinical trials.

    If Obama signed this act, you and your alt-left ilk would be cheering it as the best thing since sliced white bread.

    No, but I am against untested drugs circumventing the human testing regulations so as to boost big pharma profits.

    Unlike goose-stepping libs, conservatives are not required to all think exactly alike.

    Who said I was a Republican?

    I'm for smaller government, less taxes, less regulations, free-markets, gun-rights, etc.

    So, what you are saying is that you want drug legalization to also be checked and tested by the government?

    Yes, I want legalized drugs to be regulated. Who wouldn’t? Like I wouldn’t want legal drugs cut with toxic chemicals.

    Sounds good on the surface, but as others have pointed out, there's gotta be a hidden catch we haven't realized yet... as Orangeman is so fond of saying, we'll see what happens...

    No matter how much testing you do on drugs like opiods, anti-depressants, anti-anxiety, etc., they are all bad for you.

    Stop taking poisoning yourself.

    No we just haven't seen much proof that Republicans actually think.
