Stop Drug Companies Blocking Cheaper Generics
This bill aims to lower drug costs by preventing pharmaceutical companies from interfering with doctors' decisions to prescribe cheaper generic or biosimilar drugs instead of expensive brand names. It stops companies from offering incentives or directing doctors to choose brand names when alternatives exist.
Key points
Drug companies cannot give doctors gifts or tell them to prescribe only brand-name drugs if a generic is available.
Doctors keep the freedom to choose the best drug for you based on medical judgment.
Government agencies and states can take legal action and fine companies that break these rules.
This could lead to more affordable prescription drug options for you.
