Sequestration should not slow American access to new medications

Sequestration should not slow American access to new medications-thehill: Imagine an industry constructively working with a government agency for nearly two years to identify needed improvements to its processes to better serve Americans. Now, imagine the industry offering to help pay for the improvements.

A case study in how D.C. should work, right? Well… not so fast.
