This bipartisan step, led by Senators Peters, Lankford, Ernst, Cotton, Kaine, King, and Scott, advances meaningful progress toward a more reliable supply of essential medicines.
As the bill moves to the House, Angels for Change urges continued momentum to protect patients and prevent future drug shortages.

This proactive readiness ensures patients receive vital treatment without delay.
