Excited to have our @Roadmap2Health team on-site today. This bilingual, mobile health fair travels around the country, offering health screenings for cholesterol, blood pressure, and BMI. This is just one way we're working to remove barriers to care.
.@FoxBusiness: Big pharma seeks to change its reputation amid drug pricing crackdown. https://t.co/rwzdu8fZUJ @steveubl: One of the things I really wanted to bring to the organization is a more proactive approach where we are bringing pragmatic, pro-consumer policies to the table
Since joining @PhRMA, I’ve been focused on bringing pragmatic, pro-consumer policies to the table. Many of these ideas were discussed in today’s @SenFinance hearing on #drugprices. Specifically we have advocated for the following ideas: 1/8
I laud @POTUS’ goal of ending #HIV infections within 10 years. America is a land of innovators & our biopharmaceutical scientists & researchers are working tirelessly to make this goal a reality. #SOTU
@phrma reports that 289 gene therapies in development. After a decade in the ER, exciting for me to think about treatments on the horizon for #sicklecell, #cancer, #hemophilia, other serious diseases. Read my quotes in the link. #GoBOLDLY https://t.co/GaAZ8j6Coa
59 new treatments were approved by the @US_FDA in 2018 - the majority of them (42) were first approved in the United States. When biopharmaceutical companies are encouraged to innovate, American patients benefit. Read more by @AndrewPowaleny. https://t.co/BvCp8Y2mdu
