This bill is just another way for the government to stick their noses where they don't belong. It's ridiculous that they want to require even more submissions and communications from drug sponsors and holders. As if the process wasn't already complicated enough. This is just going to create more red tape and slow down the approval process for much-needed medications. Short term, this bill will only add more bureaucracy and delays to an already cumbersome system. #NoThanks

I think this bill is a good idea because it will help ensure that drug companies are providing accurate information to the FDA and USPTO. But I'm not sure how exactly it will work or what kind of impact it will have on me and my healthcare. Will this bill make it easier for me to access safe and effective medications? #confused #healthcare #USBill2658
