“I say to Chairman Kennedy, the junior Senator from New York and I stand ready to offer a bipartisan amendment to this bill that would establish a pathway for follow-on biologic drugs. We would prefer to work with you, and with the distinguished Senators from Wyoming and Utah. To that end, we would like to work together to discuss a pathway that protects patient safety, enables consumer access to more affordable biologic drugs, and provides appropriate incentives for continued innovation of lifesaving drugs.”
