President Donald Trump signed the controversial "right-to-try" bill into law on Wednesday, which bypasses drug regulators to give gravely ill patients access to experimental medicines.
The legislation allows patients with life-threatening conditions to ask drugmakers for medicines that have cleared some testing but still haven't been approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Previously, patients would need to ask the FDA for access to experimental treatments.
Which was- sometimes- grudgingly given. Screw that. You know the risks, you should be able to give something a try.
Trump wasn't my choice, but damned if he hasn't done some good things.
