Ross introduced the Right to FDA-Approved Medicines Act, saying science not politics should guide health care and warning that state bans could affect vaccines and other life-saving FDA-approved drugs.

She introduced concrete legislation to protect access to FDA-approved medicines, including vaccines, but the bill was only introduced and not yet enacted.

Assessments

The promise was broad and framed as a commitment to fight for public-health and emergency-preparedness policies rather than to enact a specific bill. Ross took concrete same-term actions consistent with it, including voting for the enacted American Rescue Plan with vaccine and public-health funding, using her Coronavirus Pandemic subcommittee role for preparedness oversight, and introducing legislation related to FDA-approved medicines and vaccines. Because at least one substantial public-health policy outcome was enacted with her support, this is best classified as delivered rather than merely attempted.
