There has already been a lot of speculation in the general press and trade media as well as a few shots fired across the bow by Congress.   <\/p>\n<p> It&#8217;s not just democrats itching to get at Pharma. For example, the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) chaired by Sen. Michael B. Enzi (R-Wyoming), met in full session on November 16, 2006 (&#8220;Hearing on Building a 21st Century FDA: Proposals to Improve Drug Safety and Innovation;&#8221; access audio and testimony from this hearing here) and Senator Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) has put a hold on the nomination of Dr. Andrew C. von Eschenbach for commissioner of the FDA.   <\/p>\n<p> The following is a synopsis of the issues and changes experts have predicted that the drug industry will be subjected to in the next legislative session:   <\/p>\n<p> <b>Drug Price Related<\/b>   <\/p>\n<ul type=\"DISC\">\n<li>Medicare reform &#8212; allow government to directly negotiate prices with pharmaceutical companies     <\/li>\n<li>Allow drug importation from Canada     <\/li>\n<li>Patent Reform &#8212; set limits on whether big pharmaceutical firms can make deals with generic drug makers   <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p> <b>Marketing Related<\/b>   <\/p>\n<ul type=\"DISC\">\n<li>Enact a mandatory 6-month, one- or two-year moratorium on ads for new drugs     <\/li>\n<li>Require FDA pre-clearance of all DTC ads     <\/li>\n<li>Wipe out or limiting tax deductions for advertising expense     <\/li>\n<li>Require a &#8220;black triangle&#8221; in ads and labels for new drugs     <\/li>\n<li>Set standards for risk presentation that make broadcast ads infeasible   <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p> <b>FDA\/Drug Approval\/Safety Related<\/b>   <\/p>\n<ul type=\"DISC\">\n<li>Hold up of Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA) reauthorization     <\/li>\n<li>Make FDA more powerful &#8212; eg, create office of drug safety within FDA, give the FDA the power to fine companies to force them to do safety studies or change the labels of drugs (Grassley-Dodd and Enzi-Kennedy bills)   <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p> <a name=\"resources\"\/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ec2-54-175-84-28.compute-1.amazonaws.com\/pharma-mkting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/surveyman.gif\" width=\"132\" height=\"143\" vspace=\"5\" hspace=\"20\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Surveys\" align=\"left\"\/>Please take the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.surveymonkey.com\/s.asp?u=764552912613\">Online Survey<\/a> so that we may use the results in our discussion.
