vote was actually 267-149

147 Dems voted against helping dying people simply because Trump pushed for this bill and because Dems hate Trump that badly.

If there was ever a question about whether Dems actually care about the good of the people, this vote should definitively settle the matter ...

Will they stop bitching now?

Right to try has drawn backlash from House Democrats and patient safety organizations, who worry sidelining the FDA puts patients in danger.

There are lies, and then there are transparent lies.

They are not worried about patients being in "danger".

The patients have weeks or months to live, and want to try a developmental drug.

You, and your family would to, absolutely!

Only someone truly evil would vote against this. It’s for those who are near death who want to try one last drug not yet through the rigorous FDA process.

It’s not like they have anything left to lose.

Did I miss the mention of Senate approval, or is this some new mechanism by which the Senate is not required to approve legislation?
