the comparison to the human medication market is notable. of the top 20 human medications that lost patent protection between 2005 and 2007, 100% had a generic version made. of the top 20 pet medications during that time, only 20% went generic. so we know that generics have a profound impact only health care by drastically lowering drug prices and improving access to treatment. ftc report suggests a number of areas for further study regarding pet medication, distribution that may be causing inefficiencies and disincentivizing the development of new generics and i encourage the ftc to proceed with that study. so i'm hopeful that the hearing could address other challenges facing the pet medication industry. i look forward to hearing from the witnesses on how we could ensure affordable pet medication for all pet owners. and yield back. >> thanks the gentleman. this concludes member opening statements. and the chair would remind all members that pursuant to committee rules, members opening statements will be made part of the record. we want to t

whether it is price competition, medications, medications, vet laws -- i know these things not only affect consumers, but they also affect the manufacturers and the scientists in indiana developing these products. so i'm looking forward to hearing not only from you, but to the second panel as well. ms. coslov, were you able to gather the information? and what have you done with respect to the analysis of the i believe about 36 states right now by either the state or independent licensing boards or the self policing associations -- what can you tell us about whether or not veterinarians are actually withholding prescriptions from pet owners across the country? i mean when 36 states already have laws on the books and in place, can you share with us a bit more about what practices you were most concerned about? >> so it is our understanding a number of states do have these laws on the books and we realize many veterinarians are honoring their clients requests for prescriptions. however there are some states that do not have these rules in place. moreover there are some states that don't requi

$7 billion a year on prescription pet medication. a bill in the house would open up competition in the industry, which, according to a federal trade commission report is not subject to the same market forces as human drugs. at this hour and 40 minute hearing an ftc official said providing more options for consumers including prescription portability would create competition and ultimately reduce prices. >>> let me invite all of our guests to take their seats. the sub-committee on commerce, manufacturing and trade will come to order and the chair will recognize himself for five minutes for the purpose of on opening statement. i want to welcome everyone here this morning. welcome our witness this is morning. we'll receive testimony from our witnesses about the status of the pet medication industry. it is important to start this process by understanding the status quo of the industry. from that point, we will build the necessary base to carefully examine whether additional federal involvement is needed in the veterinary prescription med

so there was a massive period of expansion in the medical education. moore house came along it during that time but there was the civil rights movement from the mid-50s and onward. so the rational for developing the moore house school of medicine was to work to train more black and other minority physicians. so the development of moore house school of medicine was influenced by those two major events: the expansion of medical edge caution in general and the civil rights movement showing the many deficiencies in the lives of blacks including not having enough doctors, not having enough minority doctors as well. by 1970, i was professor of medicine at boston university. i became a research heme tallagy and i loved taking care of patients with blood disease. but moore house college wanted to sought a medical school to address the shortage of black physicians. so i setup an advisory committee and ened up being recruited to head the effort. that is when i met andy young and this effort was supported not only by the black physicals in georgia but by the whit

it is medically untenable because the medical profession not only agrees to first do no harm but if you read closely, the hippocratic talk about justice and when that is not the case, then implicit biases change the way that people are treated. so let me turn now to the content of the book that institute of medicine study that was done in 2003, positive that it's possible that physician bias may have a causal relationship with health disparities, that because physicians themselves are individuals were bias on race, ethnicity, socioeconomic, gender, sexual whorntation and other grounds, that might actually influence their treatment decisions but at the same time, the institute of medicine said we don't know exactly how those mechanisms work. the point of my book was to try and come up with an understanding of those mechanisms, how to understand how physician bias translates into poor health outcomes for people of color as compared to whites. i looked at the studies and they are copious, and i organize them to six mechanisms, the bias care model. i'm only going to talk about one tonight b
