IBEW also opposed a Medicare prescription drug plan, the “21st Century Medicare Act.” (S. 2) that would have created a voluntary drug benefit for seniors under the existing Medicare system and used private drug-only insurance policies to set premiums and determine benefits. IBEW supported "Greater Access to Affordable Pharmaceuticals Act" (S. 812) that would have reduced the time pharmaceutical companies are allowed to hold a drug patent. Such a change would have sped up the process to get generic drugs to market.
