What if the PDUFA bill has already been signed at that point?
It probably won’t be. The Supreme Court’s decision on ObamaCare is due any day, while the PDUFA-renewal bill still has to go through the process of reconciling the differences between the House and Senate versions.
What if the PDUFA bill has already been signed at that point?
Your question now looms large inasmuch as the PDUFA bill is done and ready for Obama’s signature while the Supreme Court still hasn’t ruled, which makes a last-minute amendment to the PDUFA bill to deal with FoB’s impossible.
Still, I agree with Craig Wheeler that FoB-enabling legislation will be quickly reinstated in some manner if the Supreme Court strikes down ObamaCare in its entirety. The need for FoB’s is one of the few bipartisan tenets in the US healthcare arena.
