PharmaceuticalsPharmaceutical policy plays a key role in the U.S. debate on health care. As "miracle drugs" have changed the nature of care in this country, costs to fill those prescriptions have risen considerably and elected officials continually hear from constituencies on the topics of price, increased research, assistance to fight a specific disease and so on.

We know and work closely with these decision makers, having decades of experience and serving as trusted advisors. The debate over how best to add a prescription drug benefit to Medicare will deeply impact the pharmaceutical industry. A reform of Average Wholesale Pricing could change the way pharmaceuticals are marketed and sold, reauthorization of the Food and Drug Administration in 2002 could re-open the Hatch-Waxman Act and bring about other changes in bringing pharmaceuticals to market, as well as the laws on Generics. It is a vital time in the pharmaceutical industry, and Jefferson's expertise in this field can help the meeting of your policy goals.

At Jefferson we believe in an integrated public policy strategy that will deliver on multiple fronts for our clients. Jefferson's successes in this area include:
