Congressional Questionnaire

Prescription Justice Policy Platform Congressional Questionnaire


Prescription Justice is a non-profit organization dedicated to lowering drug prices in America. We are giving members of Congress the opportunity to state their positions on the Prescription Justice policy platform in support of the following:
 

  1. Ending the ban that prevents Medicare from negotiating lower drug prices with pharmaceutical companies;
  2. Making reverse payment arrangements between brand and generic companies illegal, also known as "pay-for-delay";
  3. Ending "evergreening" practices, in which drug companies tweak the original drug to extend the patent;
  4. Using trade agreements to improve, not hinder generic drug availability, with a focus on getting biosimilars to market faster;
  5. Legalizing the importation of lower-cost medication from Canada and other countries with similarly strict pharmaceutical regulations; and
  6. Using FDA enforcement discretion to permit individuals with valid prescriptions to import more affordable medication for personal use.
