Representatives Anna Eshoo (D-CA) and Joe Barton (R-TX) are seeking to add their 14.5 year biogenerics proposal to the House health care reform bill by amendment as early as tomorrow. They have strong support but there are enough representatives on the fence that we can turn the situation around and have the amendment defeated so that a better proposal can be adopted.
We need your help to change this. Will you call and/or email the key swing representatives on the Energy & Commerce Committee today and ask them to vote NO on the Eshoo-Barton biologics proposal? Tell them that 14.5 years data exclusivity for biologics is too much and that nothing more than a seven (7) year compromise should be accepted.
