Biologics: Congress Shouldn’t Block Generic Drugs in
Health Care Reform

In the health care bill in the House of Representatives, there’s a dangerous provision that will make it virtually impossible for patients of breast cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, and Crohn’s disease to have access to affordable medication.

Public Option Please is joining with medical students and concerned citizens to make these “miracle” drugs affordable for everyone. Here’s more about the issue and what you can do.
