Henry Waxman actually said...

"This hearing today has very real implications for patients everywhere. How do we ensure that drug and device companies have the right incentives to discover important new treatments for disease?"

"Well, you mentioned the evergreening provision in your testimony."

"The foundation laid by the Hatch-Waxman Act thirty years ago will continue to be the mechanism by which the government incentivizes development of lifesaving drugs"

"We cannot legislate scientific advances. In some areas, the lack of new treatments is attributable to a lack of scientific knowledge, not the lack of incentives."
