Johnson Statement on the House Right to Try Vote
Statement
Issues: Health and Health Care
U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, said this after the House failed to pass right to try legislation Tuesday:
"It's disappointing to see the House fail to pass commonsense legislation that would give the right to hope to so many terminally ill patients in America. I pledge to work tirelessly on behalf of patients and their families until right to try is signed into law."
The Johnson-Donnelly bill that passed the Senate by unanimous consent on Aug. 3, 2017, can be found here.
Thirty-eight states already have passed right to try bills on an overwhelmingly bipartisan basis.
