Of those, more than 500,000 would instead participate in nongroup coverage through the marketplaces established by the Affordable Care Act, and 500,000 would become uninsured. The drug policies contained in both H.R. 987 and my bill, H.R. 2700, are commonsense bipartisan measures to lower drug prices for our constituents. I am disappointed they have been rolled into a partisan package that will be dead on arrival in the Senate. We were able to work together in the committee and subcommittee to ensure these policies would improve access to generics for American patients.
