President Bush Signs Two Bills to Improve Health Care
Radio Address by the President to the Nation October 26, 2002

"Earlier this week, I also announced action to bring lower cost generic drugs to market more quickly. Right now, some brand name drug companies are using legal maneuvers to delay the approval of generic drugs, sometimes for years. We're setting new limits on those delays. By reducing the public's wait for quality generic drugs, we will reduce the cost of prescriptions in this country by more than $3 billion each year. These savings will help employer health plans, state Medicaid programs, and seniors who buy medicines on their own."

What the experts say

"Since generic drugs generally sell for less than brand name drugs, many people falsely believe that generics must be inferior to brand-name products. Generic drugs contain exactly the same active ingredients as the brand-name drugs and are just as safe and effective."

Doug Sporn, Director
FDA Office of Generic Drugs
"FDA Ensures Equivalence of Generic Drugs," January 2000
