S. 2780 purports to address a problem that does not exist. would overburden the USPTO; and threatens innovation and global competitiveness by potentially requiring the disclosure of previously confidential trade secrets.

H.R. 6283 DRUG-ACT - Request to co-sponsor the Drug-Act, vote to move to markup in committee and include in the next spending bill. MARCH-IN Congressional Letter - Asking Congressional Members to sign on to letter to President Biden opposing the recent NIST guidance.

Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) - Opposing Expansion of IRA Bill's Drug Coverage. While understanding the intention to provide wider access to affordable medications, we believe this proposed expansion could have unintended negative consequences on employment with the prescription drug industry. Protecting Patients Against PBM Abuses Act (H.R. 2880) - Urging support of H.R. 2880. 2023 Reauthorization of the Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Act (PAHPA) - Oppose legislation to expand upon the recent bipartisan language in the draft to reintroduce the concept of "Reasonable Pricing" requirements.

H.R. 830 HELP COPAYS ACT - Urging support of the Help Copays Act to ensure affordable access to life-saving medications for all Americans. Provide relief to patients by capping copayments for prescription drugs. S. 1246 SMART PRICES ACT - Urging opposition to the SMART legislation. The emphasis on price controls for prescription drug price negotiations would have adverse effects on future research, investments, and empllyment opportunites in our country. H.R. 3694 WTO'S Expansion of TRIPS Waivers for Drugs - Urging opposition of the waiver to COVID-19 diagnostic devices and treatments, as many WTO members are proposing, would endanger American jobs without improving global health.

S. 113 Prescription Pricing for the People Act of 2023 S. 127 Pharmacy Benefit Manager Transparency Act of 2023 As a result of their impact on the prices charged to the patient or sponsor, many of the contractual and billing practices of the non-manufacturer links in the drug supply chain provide unnecessary barriers to receiving access to needed prescription drugs. Among others, these impact the participants, dependents, beneficiaries and survivors who receive their health benefits from jointly managed, multiemployer health benefit plans. These realities are in direct conflict with the stated policy positions of PILMA. The proposed Senate bills, S. 113 and S. 127 are both steps in the right direction although modifications and additional provisions that would strengthen the legislation.
