    This Act may be cited as the ``Prescription Drug Fairness for 
Seniors Act of 2001''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

    (a) Findings.--The Congress finds the following:
            (1) Manufacturers of prescription drugs engage in price 
        discrimination practices that compel many older Americans to 
        pay substantially more for prescription drugs than consumers in 
        foreign nations and the drug manufacturers' most favored U.S. 
        customers, such as health insurers, health maintenance 
        organizations, and the Federal Government.
            (2) Older Americans who buy their own prescription drugs 
        often pay twice as much for prescription drugs as consumers in 
        foreign nations and the drug manufacturers' most favored U.S. 
        customers. In some cases, older Americans pay 10 times more for 
        prescription drugs than such customers.
            (3) The discriminatory pricing by major drug manufacturers 
        sustains their high profits (for example, $27,300,000,000 in 
        1999), but causes financial hardship and impairs the health and 
        well-being of millions of older Americans. Many older Americans 
        are forced to choose between buying their food and buying their 
        medicines.
            (4) Foreign nations and U.S. federally funded health care 
        programs use purchasing power to obtain prescription drugs at 
        low prices. Medicare beneficiaries are denied this benefit and 
        cannot obtain their prescription drugs at the lower prices 
        available to such nations and programs.
            (5) Implementation of the policy set forth in this Act will 
        reduce prices for brand name prescription drugs for many 
        Medicare beneficiaries by an average of 40 percent.
            (6) In addition to substantially lowering the costs of 
        prescription drugs for older Americans, implementation of the 
        policy set forth in this Act will significantly improve the 
        health and well-being of older Americans and lower the costs to 
        the Federal taxpayer of the Medicare program.
            (7) Older Americans who are terminally ill and receiving 
        hospice care services represent some of the most vulnerable 
        individuals in our nation. Making prescription drugs available 
        to Medicare beneficiaries under the care of Medicare-certified 
        hospices will assist in extending the benefits of lower 
        prescription drug prices to those most vulnerable and in need.
    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to protect Medicare 
beneficiaries from discriminatory pricing by drug manufacturers and to 
make prescription drugs available to Medicare beneficiaries at 
substantially reduced prices.

SEC. 3. PARTICIPATING MANUFACTURERS.

    (a) In General.--Each participating manufacturer of a covered 
outpatient drug shall make available for purchase by each pharmacy such 
covered outpatient drug in the amount described in subsection (b) at 
the price described in subsection (c).
    (b) Description of Amount of Drugs.--The amount of a covered 
outpatient drug that a participating manufacturer shall make available 
for purchase by a pharmacy is an amount equal to the aggregate amount 
of the covered outpatient drug sold or distributed by the pharmacy to 
Medicare beneficiaries.
    (c) Description of Price.--The price at which a participating 
manufacturer shall make a covered outpatient drug available for 
purchase by a pharmacy is a price no greater than the manufacturer's 
average foreign price.
    (d) Enforcement.--The United States shall debar a manufacturer of 
drugs or biologicals that does not comply with the provisions of this 
Act.

SEC. 4. SPECIAL PROVISION WITH RESPECT TO HOSPICE PROGRAMS.

    For purposes of determining the amount of a covered outpatient drug 
that a participating manufacturer shall make available for purchase by 
a pharmacy under section 3, there shall be included in the calculation 
of such amount the amount of the covered outpatient drug sold or 
distributed by a pharmacy to a hospice program. In calculating such 
amount, only amounts of the covered outpatient drug furnished to a 
Medicare beneficiary enrolled in the hospice program shall be included.

SEC. 5. ADMINISTRATION.

    The Secretary shall issue such regulations as may be necessary to 
implement this Act.

SEC. 6. REPORTS TO CONGRESS REGARDING EFFECTIVENESS OF ACT.

    (a) In General.--Not later than 2 years after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, and annually thereafter, the Secretary shall 
report to the Congress regarding the effectiveness of this Act in--
            (1) protecting Medicare beneficiaries from discriminatory 
        pricing by drug manufacturers, and
            (2) making prescription drugs available to Medicare 
        beneficiaries at substantially reduced prices.
    (b) Consultation.--In preparing such reports, the Secretary shall 
consult with public health experts, affected industries, organizations 
representing consumers and older Americans, and other interested 
persons.
    (c) Recommendations.--The Secretary shall include in such reports 
any recommendations the Secretary considers appropriate for changes in 
this Act to further reduce the cost of covered outpatient drugs to 
Medicare beneficiaries.

                        characteristics of the drugs.
                    (B) Exempt transactions.--The Secretary may, by 
                regulation, exempt from the calculation of the average 
                foreign price of a drug those prices realized by a 
                manufacturer in transactions that are entered into for 
                charitable purposes, for research purposes, or under 
                other unusual circumstances, if the Secretary

Input: Consider Input: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Urban Jobs Act of 2010''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) One-third of minority youth are unemployed.
            (2) The labor force participation rate for persons without 
        a high school diploma is 20 percentage points lower than the 
        labor force participation rate for high school graduates.
            (3) Nationally, approximately 70 percent of all students 
        graduate from high school, but African-American and Hispanic 
        students have a 55 percent or less chance of graduating from 
        high school.
            (4) High school dropouts from the class of 2004 will cost 
        the Nation more than $325 billion in lost wages, taxes, and 
        productivity over their lifetimes.
            (5) Only 52 percent of students in the 50 largest cities in 
        the United States graduate from high school. That rate is below 
        the national high school graduation rate of 70 percent, and 
        also falls short of the 60 percent average for urban districts 
        across the Nation.
            (6) Over his or her lifetime, a high school dropout earns, 
        on average, about $260,000 less than a high school graduate, 
        and about $1 million less than a college graduate.
            (7) Approximately 75 percent of State prison inmates and 59 
        percent of Federal prison inmates have not completed high 
        school. Increasing the high school completion rate by 1 percent 
        for all men ages 20 to 60 would save the United States $1.4 
        billion annually in reduced costs associated with crime.
            (8) According to a recent study, a 10 percent increase in 
        the male high school graduation rate would reduce arrest rates 
        for murder and assault by about 20 percent, motor vehicle theft 
        by 13 percent, and arson by 8 percent.
            (9) The National Urban League is a historic civil rights 
        organization dedicated to economic empowerment in order to 
        elevate the standard of living in historically underserved 
        urban communities. Founded in 1910 and headquartered in New 
        York City, the National Urban League spearheads the efforts of 
        its local affiliates through the development of programs, 
        public policy research, and advocacy.
            (10) There are more than 100 local affiliates of the 
        National Urban League located in 36 States and the District of 
        Columbia, providing direct services that impact and improve the 
        lives of more than 2 million people nationwide. Local National 
        Urban League affiliates operate programs that focus on 
        education, job training and placement, housing, business 
        development, and many other important initiatives.
            (11) The National Urban League has a history of success in 
        implementing national programs through its local affiliate 
        network. From 2007 to 2010, 27 local National Urban League 
        affiliates served at-risk young adults by providing job skills 
        training, community service opportunities, and employment for 
        over 3,500 young adults ages 18 to 24.
    (b) Purpose.--It is the purpose of this Act to provide adequate 
resources for the National Urban League (acting through local National 
Urban League affiliates) to reduce the disproportionate incarceration 
of minority youth and to prepare eligible young adults for entry into 
the world of work by providing a comprehensive set of services that 
includes job training, education, and support services.

SEC. 3. URBAN JOBS PROGRAM.

    (a) In General.--Subtitle D of title I of the Workforce Investment 
Act of 1998 (29 U.S.C. 2911 et seq.) is amended--

            (2) in section 173, by striking ``174'' each place it 
        appears and inserting ``175''; and
