the f.d.a. and other agency officials claim their own expanded access program is working and continues to improve. there may be some truth to that. but the program is simply not enough. and i know that because i've talked to dozens and dozens of patients, family members and advocates who tell me it's not enough. they come to my office, they call me on the phone, they write me impassioned letters. these same advocates have ensured that right to try has become law in 38 states. think about that for a moment. with one more state you could actually ratify a constitutional amendment. and in half of those 38 states, right to try laws passed with unanimous support and in my own home state of arizona, voters approved that initiative by 80% of the popular vote. at a time when pundits are claiming our politics are broken and republicans and democrats can't come together on anything, here is a cause that americans of all political stripes can unite in. mr. speaker, i am pleased to yield the floor to my col

the f.d.a. got involved for one of the first times ever to force endo to stop selling the new truly evil drug earlier this year. what did endo then do? the company cut a deal with a generic drug company to split the profits on the sales of the original version of the drug, you know, the one with the history of abuse. it is unbelievable. the company will profit off a highly dangerous opioid it pulled off the market for being unsafe. the f.d.a. linked endo to serious drug problems like outbreaks of h.i.v. and hepatitis-c, but the company doesn't think those risks are good enough reasons to stop selling the opioids. i don't think there are better examples of how greed trumps everything else. that is what we are talking about here. there are good people that work in the pharmaceutical industry. we have always been proud to have innovation in america, but innovation is great but greed unchecked is not. and you can literally trace this opioid epidemic where now four out of five of those people that or

we're going to see a lot of similar ideas roll out from here and we'll have to wait and see if the f.d.a. approves all of them so how do you think patients will perceive this will be open it to this what are the kinds of discussions they're going to have with their doctor in the office when the doctor suggests something like this. right so i think there is going to be good conversations as well as some more worried and skepticism on the part of patients so the good thing is patients who want to take their medication and want those reminders are going to see it as a good thing it's a way for them to ensure that they're taking the medication they're supposed to when they're supposed to and getting better and avoiding getting more sick or having more expensive treatments down the line but there's also a little bit of a big brother fear out there that their doctor can now see whether or not they take their pills and i think there's some fears that down the line this could result in mechanisms that would punish patients who aren't taking their medication when they're supposed to especially wh
