Recent Health Policy Hearings; Upcoming Drug Pricing Hearing
A number of Congressional committees have held hearings recently on health policy issues. Among other things, two panels held hearings on H1N1 vaccine supply issues -- the House Energy and Commerce Committee and the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. The Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee also held a hearing on recent breast cancer screening recommendations. Also, the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee held a hearing on H.R. 3276, the American Medical Isotopes Production Act of 2009. Looking ahead, on December 8, the Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee is holding a hearing entitled "Prescription Drug Price Inflation: Are Prices Rising Too Fast?”
