[EX Q]: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

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

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.

any recommendations the Secretary considers appropriate for changes in
this Act to further reduce the cost of covered outpatient drugs to
Medicare beneficiaries.

or other arrangement (whether with the
purchaser or other persons) that has the effect
of reducing the amount realized by the
manufacturer on the sale of the drugs; and
(ii) adjustments for any differences in

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
