      It pains me to see all the misinformation re RTT. It’s NOT a new right. It allows patients ineligible for trials & who have no treatment options to ask the company making experimental drugs if they may try the drug. (U’ve been able to do that 4 decades.) Access isn’t guaranteed

      It helps to eliminate concerns, of legal action a company or a doctor may have for prescribing such a drug that has not been FDA-approved yet. The medical industry, especially, is always afraid of being sued for trying something outside of the box. Please try to be more positive

      I can’t be more positive if it doesn’t square with the facts! I’ve NEVER had a company tell me liability was a concern in their decisionmaking re access & 2 separate searches of law literature turned up no such cases. There r ways to make companies more willing: liability’s not

      As for drs, maybe. Maybe they were scared of being sued. But all drs in the US already have insurance that would cover them in case of such suits, &the likelihood of the suit being successful is, in my opinion as a non-lawyer, exceedingly slim. (Have discussed with real lawyers!)

      You couldn't be more wrong. Most doctors do not have malpractice insurance. Please stay focused on the issue. This is about the pharmaceutical companies

      Completely incorrect. Nearly all doctors are required to have malpractice insurance as a condition of obtaining privileges at hospitals and healthcare facilities. Some states require it for licensure.

      Again, ladies and gentlemen. No one wants to get sued. Any legislation that alliws a doctor to think & prescribe, outside the box, for people that desperately need alternative treatment, is a good thing Something's better than nothing Cost of Rx & Ins. Co's have destroyed MDs

      Nice pivot to ignore the fact that your claim that most doctors don't have malpractice insurance was bullshit.

          You're not very good at this. That's Florida, and what percentage of Florida doctors "go bare"? I looked up that article, since you didn't provide a link. It doesn't say. The author is a malpractice lawyer; so he's hardly unbiased. https://www.huffingtonpost.com/spencer-aronfeld/medical-malpractice-insurance_b_2455946.html …

          Quote from you: "You couldn't be more wrong. Most doctors do not have malpractice insurance." Nothing you have posted supports that. All you've shown is that a small minority of doctors in a single state don't carry Insurance. Math. How does that work?
