HR 4525 United States House · 119th Congress

Right to FDA-Approved Medicines Act

This bill prohibits federal and state governments from restricting access to FDA-approved medicines. It guarantees individuals the right to obtain these medicines without coercion and allows healthcare providers (like doctors and pharmacists) to prescribe or refer for them. The law blocks governments from implementing rules that single out or hinder the sale, provision, or use of FDA-approved drugs, such as bans on specific medicines or barriers to patient access. It does not affect the FDA's drug approval process or existing health insurance coverage requirements.
