My Thoughts On The Public Option In The House Bill

The road from here to the President's desk is very long, and we're just at the half-way point right now in getting the best bill possible onto his desk. However, it doesn't mean that we should ignore terrible amendments like the Eshoo amendment that's a major giveaway to pharmaceutical firms. It would ban brand name biologics from ever being available as generics. It means sick people who can't afford brand-name biologics would never be able to get them as generics.

They'd be stuck with an unaffordable biologic medicine to treat their illnesses. It's wrong, and we shouldn't stand for it as a part of the final bill.

We're holding rallies in four different cities, one of them at Rep. Eshoo's office along with the American Medical Student Association, to bring attention to this terrible amendment:
