Some very sick patients could get certain Schedule I experimental drugs through their doctor under Right to Try. Doctors would need a special federal registration, and drug companies would still have to agree to supply the drug.

Latest action on H.R. 6434: Referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committee on the Judiciary, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects very sick patients seeking last-option treatment, the doctors who may treat them, and drug companies that control access to these products. It also affects the Justice Department, because the Attorney General would run the registration system and write the rules. State law matters too, so doctors and patients in different states could face different limits.
Why this matters: This bill matters because some very sick patients may want experimental treatment, but Schedule I drugs face extra federal barriers. The bill tries to create a legal path for some of those cases while keeping federal controls in place. It could make access clearer for doctors and patients, but access would still depend on state law, drug company agreement, and future federal rules. The final effect could vary a lot depending on how broad the rules are and how many drugs actually qualify.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
