In case there was any doubt, the White House made clear last
week its deal with the Pharmaceutical
Research and Manufacturers of America to support healthcare reform had
a December 2010 expiration date.
PhRMA learned how perishable its deal was on Valentine's day,
when President Obama's fiscal 2012 budget proposal was released. It asked
Congress to abrogate a key part of the PhRMA deal - and the most important
element for the Biotechnology
Industry Organization - by slashing the exclusivity for pioneer
biologics to seven years from the 12 years established in the Patient Protection
and Affordable Care Act.
