Obama has made an unusual commitment in time and energy to the negotiations at the White House, essentially serving as a referee on key issues that the House and Senate leaders could not resolve.
Beyond that, he was willing to reopen issues where the two bills were identical. One example involved the patent protection that drugmakers would receive for their biotech drugs from generic competitors. The president wants to give generic makers quicker entry into the marketplace, and the pharmaceutical industry's top lobbyist, former Rep. W.J. Tauzin, sent an e-mail threatening to oppose the legislation if that happened.

So what does it mean if the druggies oppose the bill. I suppose they quit the payola to the scumbags in congress.
What's funny about the whole thing is a congressman can't stop it but a company can:bang:
This whole deal is nothing but one big cluster f**k! :(
