fda's reach is vast. the agency has authority over more than 300,000 foreign establishments, and 185,000 domestic establishments ranging from food processing plants, to facilities that manufacture life-saving medications. in addition to facilities themselves, the fda is tasked with the regulatory responsibility of individual products. and delivering these regulatory responsibilities your private-sector partners expect transparency and certainty from the fda. when i speak to small businesses, and ag producers in north dakota, their overwhelming concerns is that often overly burdensome regulations coming out of washington, d.c. can stifle innovation, and hinder their ability to create jobs. while we all support the fda's mission, we must also be mindful of these concerns. i believe the fda must avoid the trappings of one size fits all solutions and i urge you and your staff to take a common-sense approach in regard to the budget request itself. i'm concerned that this request relies on a significant increas

the fda doesn't have a black-and-white criteria. you have to be approved as being an abuse deterrent formulation. that is one of the challenges. we also have a disconnect in terms of when you look at the commercial coverage policies for the product. so what you generally see is the abuse deterrent formulations are two or three, tier four. in other words you're feeling for us on everything else and there's not kind to the calculation that we need to be considering potential for abuse. the fda has said it's a priority for them to approve the deterrent formulations, yet we have a disconnect when it comes to coverage and payment policies. again, only one tool in the toolkit, but an important one. >> 96% of the drugs and opioids people take routinely, daily, legally do not have any abuse deterrent. >> correct. >> so thick it takes one of my medicine cabinet, there's nothing they are it would keep them from crashing it into snorting it for cooking it and injecting it. >> correct. that's one of the reasons we think it's so important to inc

and the fda just asked a company to remove opana from the market, and hopefully this could signal fda is beginning the change the opioid pistoriuss. it's unclear whether that was based in a change in fda or had something to do with a battle between fda and endo over the naming. there's quite a bit fda could do, and if they start taking the proper steps, it could be very helpful. >> we have about five minutes. i'm going to give you each about half of that. you're the drug czars. i mean you have all the power in the world to change this epidemic. lena, what's your list of policies? >> sounds amazing. first of all, i have to get used to this. first i would ensure that there is treatment on demand. not treatment in three months but treatment at the time that people need and the right treatment. we shouldn't be telling people, well, there's only one thing available. you get methadone or counseling. we should give people the services they need. ensuring treatment on demand. second, i would support those on the front lines with the resources that they need. we in baltimore city work closely

and though has said it is reviewing the fda's request. sign that the nation's opioid crisis has become too big to ignore. let's bring in drew armstrong, bloombergs --rmaceutical procedure news. this is just 4% of their revenue. has the stock reacted so dramatically, and the second thing is, does this open up other pharmaceuticals? drew: to enter the second part of your question first, the fda has indicated and the commissioner has said, we are going to be taking a look at a lot of these issues. the fda does have the legal and say,go out there hey, people are abusing this. if the risks to people who might use it beyond the legitimate users washed over into that, it becomes a big deal here they feel the responsibility to take action because they can. from a legal perspective, there probably is the signal of some risk. keep in mind that several states, several counties and no andhave sued and other manufacturers about how they have abused communities. lawyers and courts are going to listen to that as they attempt to build cases. julia: accep

the agreements that fund the fda and the user fee program expire this year. longer be will no able to approve drugs unless it has the fees that come from the drug companies that fund the fda's work. both programs must be re-authorized by congress this year. next creates a vehicle for someone to insert something into that legislation to go after prices because it is a relevant amendment to the user fee legislation. one has to do with the brandeds and one has to do with the generics. that is likely something that will be inserted that will drugss pharmaceutical prices. what will be inserted is unclear. right now, who is going to get hit? pedro: is there a philosophical battle within members of congress about so much sway over an industry and the prices they can set for themselves? mr. lipton: the typical move that congress does is, let's commission somebody to do a study to see how we can lower prices. that is essentially what one piece of the legislation is proposing. program that was passed to try to create more safety but ultimately it has become a way for t

first of all, pharmaceutical is heavily regulated by the fda. so the comparison between pharmaceutical ads and attorney ads i think is apt, and i think we should be as thoughtful and driven as attorney ads as we are about drug ads. >> tradition tale it's been the state bars that regulate this problem. as far as i can tell there's been no complaints and nobodies brought in the cases. and i get my lawyer magazines and i see hundreds of complaints against lawyers every week. lawyers have been complain said about this and that, not calling their clients back, not giving complete information. so i'm just amazed there's not been a case like this. >> so my understanding most consumer related complaints are client driven. and this is an unusual situation because it's not the client that's injured. they're not complaining their lawyer is stealing their fee. because the client is affected, i think that's why there's way fewer complaints than consumer protection might suggest there should be. >> yes, you want to comment. >> let me clarify one issue with re

it is incumbent on the on the fda to remove it. fda shocks lawmakers by pulling opioid off the market. the stories said that the fda shocked lawmaker advocates and the pharmaceutical industry when it asked drug maker to pull opioid from store shelves. the agency decision last thursday asking the pharmaceuticals to remove the painkiller opana. it came after years of lawmakers saying the fda approved too many opioids and contributed to a growing epidemic. i have advocated for years for the fda to seek the advice of its expert advisory panel and seriously follow recommendations on the approval of regulations of dangerously addictive drugs. this is from senator joe manchin democrat from west virginia. the agency's decision came after a group of experts voted 18-8 back in march that long acting painkiller was doing more harm than good. let's get a call from gary now. gary is in everest kentucky, democrat. caller: how are you? we're all blessed by the good lord. thank you for taking my call. i live here in in here in in kentucky. 15 mile

i'm focused on fda right now >> let's talk about an issue that's been surrounding the fda in kind ofoversial issue covering the fda for quite awhile and that is the slow approval process for what people think may be life saving drugs in situations like cancer and situations like illnesses that affect children. is there a way to allow some of these people, some of these patients, to get access to drugs on a faster path without having to go through the full approval process? how do you balance sort of the safety, and the speed issues of these situations for life saving situations >> right well two issues here one is getting drugs on so-called compassionate use before they're approved. we've done a lot in recent years to try to facilitate access to patients who want to get access to a drug who were facing life threatening condition and want to try an experimental drug. there's probably more that we can do we're going to be bringing in a team to look at our programs and related to so-called compassionate use. and then there's also the question of trying to improve the overall efficiency
