Issue Lab
Every day, more than 1,000,000 biopharmaceutical industry employees across the United States work to research, develop and manufacture lifesaving medicines and treatments. It is important to have public policies that encourage and support continued medical innovation, while also improving patient access to affordable medicines.
We aim to protect access, innovation and jobs.
Unfortunately, some policymakers have proposed policies that would chill investment in science, threaten access to medicines and put jobs at risk.
