Biotech Values

[DewDiligence]

…biogenerics legislation is all about savings and i can see democrats and Obama pushing it so they can factor in future savings in spending models.

There will be a lot of debate on the terms of the legislation and you can’t on liberals to be friendly to the FoB cause. To the contrary, liberals from such states as CA and MA may argue for onerous exclusivity periods in order to protect the Big Bio companies in their home states.

Having Waxman in as a replacement for Dingell will help, but it’s unlikely that the applicable House and Senate committees will have enough hours during 2009 to resolve all the issues and bring bills to the floor for a vote.
