presumably the f.d.a. will get funds so it can have more resources to take on things like different approval processes. but the money's got to be there. so if it's not appropriated, well, then where are we? the agency will end up having more work without added resources. and i think that's one of the struggles that has made the process over the past few weeks and months difficult to sort out and really feel comfortable that congress is going to do what it says little do. >> sreenivasan: so sydney lupkin, there seems to be a shift away from preventative measures in parts of the bill. >> what the bill does i believe is takes away $3.5 billion in funding for preventative medicine, funds set up under obamacare to study things like alzheimer's, chronic conditions, hospital-acquired infection. of course, the goal of that fund is to study these things so that then it ultimately saves the health care system money. if you can prevent something, you don't have to spend as much money treating it. and that had been man

but the way the f.d.a. and the n.i.h. apply these new innovations to our regulatory process has lagged behind. these agencies and the rules and regs that they produce affecting the discovery, development, and delivery of lifesaving drugs and devices also desperately need modernization and innovation. they need a game-changer. and now we have it. the house and senate have passed this bipartisan legislation which will ensure our health system can keep pace with incredible advances in science and technology. we break down regulatory barriers and expedite the approvals for safe drugs and devices coupled with billions for more research, including the beau biden cancer moonshot. we also provide critical funding to the f.d.a. so that they have all the tools they need to ensure the safety of these news drugs and devices. a former head of the national cancer institute and f.d.a. has called this "the most transformational biomedical legislation in the past 40 years." he's right. but this package is not just about cures. it also inc

guest: it is a bill that is led by fred upton of michigan, which basically is a reform system for the f.d.a. for moving research through n.i.h., to make sure that positive research taken place with drugs and medical devices and not get bogged down in bureaucracy. he's worked in that for a couple of years. passed the house before and now renegotiated some things and moving it forward. as parts of that package, we also included my bill to helping families in mental healthy crisis act. it passed 22-2. but they have a whole different amendment process over there the senate which bogged down the bills. so there was a number of things that took place. the content of the bills and now, we've passed it this week including the cancer moonshoot

we also fought hard to move many of the other f.d.a. reform policies that are included in this bill in the direction of greater patient and consumer safety. in particular, i was pleased we were able to take out legislation that would have watered down transparency around drug and device industry payments to doctors, and i appreciate my colleagues on the other side of the aisle were ultimately willing to work with us to meet those changes. now, looking ahead to next year, i plan to monitor implementation of this bill extremely closely with a focus on making sure the incoming administration ad'd ad- adheres to the policies late out in this bill and upholds the f.d.a.'s responsibility to patients and families to ensure our medicines and treatments are safe and effective. this standard has been critical to fueling biomedical innovation in america for over half a century. and while i am disappointed that republicans were unwilling to take action in this legislation to tackle the high costs of prescription drugs, i am very glad we were able to
