On Wednesday, President Trump signed the Right To Try Act – a bill that allows terminally ill patients the right to try experimental drugs and treatments (S 204). It’s about improving access for families to care that has not been approved by the FDA. It’s been a long time coming for many families who have fought hard for the right to try new treatments.
But it wasn’t just the signing of the law that captured the attention of the Daily Caller, it was the hot mic that heard what Trump said as he shook the hands of every one of the individuals present. As he leaned in to shake the hand of a man in a wheelchair, he said,
“We’re going to do this first. This is more important. A speech is just words. This is more important.” President Trump
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
As liberals rant and rail against him, as Democrats demand he be impeached, to this President, it is the people who are important. He mentioned in his statement that he doesn’t care about the insurance companies or the Pharmaceutical companies, he said the people are more important.
He also stated that in a few weeks, there was going to be a drastic reduction in drug prices announced.
Of course the naysayers will claim that he’s only doing it for a photo op, or that the people on the stage proved he is “racist” somehow, the fact is that President Trump has been a compassionate man all his life- giving people jobs who needed them, sending desperately needed finances to children with debilitating diseases, and other powerful philanthropic actions.
The Daily Caller noted the following people who were on stage with the President and Vice President
Matthew Bellina, PA, ALS patient (bill namesake)
Caitlin Bellina, PA, Wife of Matt
Jordan McLinn, IN, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) patient (bill namesake)
