Senate to Consider Clinical Trials Amendment

After three days of general debate, the Senate voted on four amendments to its health care reform bill today. The Senate will continue with debate on additional amendments this evening.

As the Senate moves forward with consideration of additional amendments, Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) is planning on offering an amendment requiring that all third-party payers cover routine patient care costs incurred by patients enrolled in clinical trials. The amendment will apply to all phases of clinical trials for cancer and other life-threatening illnesses.
