State of Play House Tri Committee bill

-- Passed Ways & Means Committee

-- Passed Education & Labor Committee

-- Energy and Commerce. Not yet passed. Chaired by Waxman, largest group of “Blue Dog” Democrats could stall or Waxman may bypass his own committee

Senate HELP (Health, Education, Labor, Pensions) Committee passed bill in Committee

Senate Finance Committee has not marked up a bill – still working on financing, since cap on health benefits exclusion taken off the table.

House Tri-Committee Bill: Key Coverage Provisions Cost: $1.04T. By 2019, # of uninsured would be

reduced by 37M, leaving 17M uninsured (half of whom would be unauthorized immigrants)

Senate HELP Legislation Significantly less expensive: $615B over 10 yrs

Does not include Medicaid eligibility expansions or financing proposals (SFC jurisdiction)

Has similarities with the House bill on coverage expansion (individual mandate, employer pay-or-play, insurance reforms, state exchanges, public plan)

Positive Biosimilar or Follow-On Biologics Provisions (12 yrs of Data Exclusivity)

340B Drug Pricing Expansions (also in House)

Positive wellness and prevention incentives

Senate Finance Committee Legislation Not yet introduced

Most likely to be representative of what can be enacted into law.

Will include similar coverage expansion proposals as HELP and House. Likely less generous subsidies, benefit packages and overall lower cost.

Likely a “cooperative” for a public plan.

Will include financing proposals consistent with agreements negotiated with PhRMA, the hospitals and other organizations

Johnson & Johnson Positions on HCR

We support…• Universal access to coverage• Maintaining private-public

mix• Prevention, chronic disease

management benefits• Reimbursement that rewards

outcomes• Comparative effectiveness

focused on clinical not cost • Insurance reforms• Positive Biosimilar

legislation in the HELP and Eshoo Bills.

We oppose…• Government plan, with

Medicare rates• Non-interference repeal,

price controls• Erosion of employer

coverage• Budget and financing that

undercut access and innovation, harm global competitiveness

Prospects for Reform Ambitious Goals: Senate & House bills completed

by August Congressional recess; bill sent to President by October.

Overall financing issues and impact on the Federal Budget becoming more of a focus

Comprehensive vs. incremental reform?

Fast-track “reconciliation” process could be adopted in the Fall if bi-partisan negotiations falter in the House

Key Issues for debate: financing; public plan option
