STATEMENT OF SENATOR MAR ROXAS ON HOUSE OK OF THE CHEAPER MEDICINES BILL

"Judging from what transpired in the 13th Congress, I see the House's approval of the Cheaper Medicines bill as a 'great leap forward.' We in the Senate certainly welcome this development and look forward to a transparent, sober, and determined effort to reconcile the best features of both Senate and House versions of the bill."

"We advise our people and the media to maintain public vigilance until this monumental bill is finally enacted into law."
