and the gold standard of the fda as the regulator. so, and i think that really does distinguish the biopharma enterprise from most other industries where the regulators are viewed as a necessary evil and perhaps a bureaucracy that slows things down. certainly from the industry, you will hear complaints about specific decisions or specific interactions that are had with the fda and that is to be expected and inevitable because there are so many complexities here and it is almost universally recognized that without a robust and effective fda we couldn't make the biopharma innovation enterprise work. >> what is it about fda investors want to see? what kind of information can come out of the agency? what kinds of explanations are people interested in? >> drew, well, stepping back, first of all, i want to thank you for inviting me josh, and t investor perspective on things. and i want to thank you and your co-authors for the blueprint that they put out and focus that you're bringing to this extremely important issue. because it is one that

to heroin start with fda approved pills you pick up in the drugstore. question is, what is the solution? my view is, governors like me do justice reform. we get rescue kits. we do the same things, but it is -- this is the worst disease to have that one can contract in terms of the fight, the struggle, what it does to your family members, what it does to your lives. my answer is a simple one. there are two things we can do. number one, the fda should revisit the decision they made about passing out painkillers like candy, now that we admit that they were lied to in the first place. [laughter] -- [applause] seconds, just like with tobacco, we have governors, mayors, generals, principalities, we are all suing the folks who put us in this mess to try to get treatment -- money for treatment. why don't we do what we did with tobacco? room.em all in a messed this one up when he reduced the burden of proof for the pill mill folks who trucked this stuff. the obama administration reduced the burden -- raised the burden of proof because enforcers literally have to

it does not bypassed the fda.a drug is not an trial, it is no longer eligible under right to try. trialelies on the fda process to make sure the only drugs people are to underwrite to try our drugs the fda itself has artie said are safe enough to try. the other thing to her member is this is completely voluntary. andatient have to try investigational drug. no doctor has to pursue and investigational drug. no drug company has to give an investigational drug to a patient that they don't think it will help. this is simply another path. host: kenny is watching, a republican. caller: people jump up and down about abortion, it is my body, i can do what i want with it. what about the same argument applied for this? that last guy was spot on. another van, as far as the teachers go, maybe we should start reevaluating what the modern-day teacher has to be. if they are not willing or able to handle a firearm or take training to handle a weapon community need to reevaluate who is being teachers. host: we believe that there. w

>> fda. yeah. it is not in the market yet. it will be in the market starting in march. >> did cms give a coverage decision on what we are finding in a lot of areas in health care is we get fda approved products and we get delayed payment decisions which is preventing access to patients. that is a big problem and if that is the case i would appreciate knowing about that because we try to have some impact on that. dr., i was interested in your testimony talking about continuing education for a physician. is there anything the federal government can do to encourage what i would call ground-level training? medicalople are out of school and practicing, i have been talking about the association of medical colleges traininglementing more programs for assessing pain and properly treating pain in medical schools and residency programs. do you have thoughts on that? problem --the bigger doctors in their 20's or 30's come of age during the opioid epidemic and many have lost friends to opioid overdoses and less likely to fall for the nons

i want to bring attention to the unanimous approval of the 2012 fda safety and invasion act which gave fda the right to charge fees for generic drug manufacturers.s these fees are unfair because if you make a thousand generic drugs this year you pay $248,000. generic drugne your fee is $248,000. 65 generic drug manufacturers have gone out of business because of the structure. >> .familiar with the generic fee structure for fda user fees.. i canis say this, the way we expresss competition to drive down prices underis the legal framework we host: to tammy in vienna, virginia. good morning. caller: hi. understanding is that many and medical protocols actually have their root necessary federal funding, so ies might support heir research and development efforts when they're new. it stands to reason that these companies would be required agreeable to more negotiating prices down the they havecially since benefited from federally funded research. what is your comment on that? i couldn't agree more, tammy, thank you. roughly 50 to 60% of all the major new breakthrough to market in e this count

with: i am not familiar the generic fee structure for fda user fees. competitionxpress to drive down prices under the legal framework we have in this country is we allow generics to come to market after the brand has a time of exclusivity. the first generic reduces the price to 80% of the original brand price, by the time we get four or five, it can come down 20% or 15%. a healthy generic industry in order to be able to effectuate the policy we have learned brands get a big return and research for that time and then generics drive down prices. i will look at the issue and familiar as myself. host: dean has a question, why can't we model after v.a. system? i use the v.a. pharmacy low cost and order online, they shipped to my house. guest: interestingly, thank you for that. the veterans administration is the only government entity, federal government entity, allowed to bargain over drug prices. they get substantially lower drug prices, that's why we think the experience of the v.a. is something we can build on and allow medicare to use the same negotiati

this does not look like the historical fda model. there's an fda component to it. but up to the time you go through that, and even through the fda process, it is a partnership between the public sector and the private sector. and the american people are the beneficiaries of it. i don't think you will have any company say, we became rich participating in this program. what we hoped and what we've seen through the creation of barta and this pathway is that we've got new innovative companies who are creating technological platforms. that yeah, they may be treating -- they may be producing a product that goes for a particular threat that we have on our matrix, but they've also created a platform that could potentially treat six different types of cancer. could begin to address certain things that we haven't had an alternative to today. i'm not sure the fda would publicly say it but some of the folks in the pipeline at barta in development have actually been called into the game where we had no countermeasure for a particular type of disease that hit, and they asked the
