        This is excellent news, as long as FDA used good scientific judgment and exercised due diligence.

        We've been waiting for an AB rated generic EpiPen from Teva for ten years. Please let's get it across the finish line!

        The FDA committed to speeding up approval of generics in 2016, a year in which more than 800 generic drugs were approved - at essentially the same rate as during Trump's first 500 days. (800+ in 365 days vs. 1180 in 500 days)

        You know what would really bring down costs? Allowing Congress/HHS to negotiate drug prices for medicare.

        Is there a list of these 1,000 drugs? I'm a pharmacist and I can't imagine what they might be.

        Orange book should cover that.. I also expect he is referring to multiple generic copies for the same drug.

        In that case, how is this anything but a ridiculous and unimportant statistic?

        And @POTUS tried to steal affordable healthcare away from millions of Americans. #Shameful

        When is it "stealing" healthcare? When people have a plan that they can afford, but @GOP decides to repeal the law that grants them affordable care because they hate the man who made it possible. Every other developed nation has a healthcare safety net for its people.

        We had a great plan before this mess. How often are you seeing people complaining about skyrocketing healthcare costs? I had to take out a loan for son in ER last summer. It's a really bad joke and middle class is the punchline. Let me be pro choice with my healthcare.
