Firedoglake founder interview on Democracy Now: bill includes garuntee monopology provision

Advertisements [?]

Democracy Now report, I just listened to on podcast - Firedoglake founder stats that the house bill includes a monopoly provision that guarantees drug companies the rights to all biological drugs, which she called the "drugs of the future."

She stated that the provision would make it illegal for these drugs to ever go generic and ensures that only rich people will have access to them (due to their enormous cost).

What's the other side of this - anyone familiar with this provision, biological drugs, or anything?

What about a bill passed in the name of health reform that grants drug companies a monopoly?
