U.S. Sen. Mike Braun (R) sends a letter to the President Thursday expressing concern over what he sees as the Biden Administration’s failure to provide patient access to critical Covid treatments. “The administration’s unsatisfactory coordination of the health care supply chain is hampering access to lifesaving COVID antiviral medication,” Sen. Braun believes. “Federal taxpayers have funded the development and acquisition of 23 million courses of treatment pills, and it is imperative for the White House to get the federal bureaucracy on the same page so that Americans do not fall victim to mismanagement.” He continues, “While I understand the White House is advocating for more COVID funding, management of current assets appears to be a pressing issue. With over 23 million courses of antiviral pills already paid for and procured for use, we must remedy supply chain issues immediately to promote patients to access these lifesaving therapies at the pharmacy counter.”
