In an era of unprecedented medical innovation, we have to do more to ensure that patients facing terminal illnesses have access to potentially life-saving treatments.

Our patients need access to all the treatments. You cannot limit the treatments because they have different effects.

We're living in an era of unprecedented change, and I want to be a part of documenting it.

I've written and passed laws to give Medicare beneficiaries access to life saving cancer drugs and to ensure that seniors don't have to give up the prospect of a cure when they go into hospice care.

The PAWS Act is a simple bill that could have a dramatic - and potentially life-saving - effect on the lives of many.

The goal of the Prime Vendor Program is to expand and ensure access to life-saving medicines and vaccines. Such access is critically important to patients, and we're pleased to partner with Sandoz to make some of their key products available to these patients.
