The Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) asked state drug licensing authorities to avoid authorizing new licenses for single drug formulations of artemisinin and withdraw existing licences for these types of drugs by the end of this month, livemint.com reports.

New House Bill Would Secure Health Care Affordability For America's Families

Today, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Committee Chairmen Henry Waxman, Charlie Rangel, and George Miller introduced their unified health care reform bill. The following is the statement of Ron Pollack, Executive Director of Families USA, about this development: "The House health care reform bill provides the right prescription for America"s ailing health care system. It offers an effective set of remedies to ensure that virtually all Americans have access to high-quality, affordable health coverage and care. "The bill effectively delivers the changes that families need: - improved affordability, so that no one is priced out of coverage and care; - choice of health plans, including one"s current plan, as well private plans and a robust public plan option; - stability, so that coverage can"t be lost or taken away; and - accountability by insurance companies, so that they don"t continue to deny or charge enormous premiums to people with pre-existing health conditions. "This bill deserves to be enacted promptly, especially because more than 6,000 people are losing health coverage every single day. "Families USA endorses the newly introduced House health care reform bill, and we will work tirelessly to see that it is enacted into law this year." Families USA
