Greenwood Announces Hearing

On The ImClone Erbitux Story

WASHINGTON (October 7) -- House Energy and Commerce Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee Chairman James Greenwood (R-PA) has scheduled a hearing for Thursday (October 10 at 10:00 a.m. in room 2123 of the Rayburn House Office Building) entitled, "An Inquiry into the ImClone Cancer-Drug Story."



In a Sept. 25 letter to the Senate Finance Committee leader, CMS Administrator Tom Scully is requesting action on the administration's top legislative priorities: contractor reform, competitive bidding for durable medical equipment, and Medicare benefit improvements. Scully advises, however, that many provisions in the Senate's original regulatory reform bill, which was introduced last year, could be counterproductive as CMS has already implemented such changes.
