Sen. Michael Bennet (D-CO) introduced a bill earlier this month, the Drug Safety and Accountability Act of 2010, which is designed to improve regulatory oversight of drug-manufacturing facilities and improve related quality standards and monitoring.

Bennet's press release, Senate Introduces New Bill on Drug-Manufacturing Quality Standards, says:

The bill would strengthen manufacturer quality standards, enhance the FDA’s ability to protect Americans through improved tracking of foreign manufacturing sites, and give the FDA much-needed authority to recall potentially dangerous drugs.

Continuing the thread of the pharma year in review, and what 2010 might look like. Here's a Motley Fool look at 2009 and 2010 from the perspective of pharmaceutical mergers and acquisitions, 2009: The Year Pharma Learned to Love Itself. In a nutshell:

1. 2009 ushered in a number of consolidations
2. Consolidations might not work well or scale well due to the challenges of integration
3. The author, Brian Orelli predicts for 2010, "While anything is possible, I wouldn't expect much more consolidation of major drugmakers."

Cramer - Top 4 Healthcare Predictions for 2010

Image via Wikipedia

... rather, that's Cliff Cramer. In looking for 2010 trends, and predictions, I stumbled across his predictions, Top 4 Healthcare Predictions for 2010. It's the start of an interesting and provocative discussion of his 4 predictions (which I've truncated):

1. Multi-national pharmaceutical and medical technology companies will increase their investments in emerging markets.
2. Information technology will make greater strides in a healthcare industry.
3. Healthcare reform will continue across developed and developing markets.
4. Consolidation will be a major theme in 2010.

I recommend you go to his post, and jump into the discussion. On some gut level, I'm hoping the predictions ring true as my retirement investments will benefit.
