    Sec. 740. Amendment to Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. (a) 
Short Title.--This section may be cited as the ``Medicine Equity and

    (b) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) The cost of prescription drugs for Americans continues 
        to rise at an alarming rate.
            (2) Millions of Americans, including medicare beneficiaries 
        on fixed incomes, face a daily choice between purchasing life-
        sustaining prescription drugs, or paying for other necessities, 
        such as food and housing.
            (3) Many life-saving prescription drugs are available in 
        countries other than the United States at substantially lower 
        prices, even though such drugs were developed and are approved 
        for use by patients in the United States.
            (4) Many Americans travel to other countries to purchase 
        prescription drugs because the medicines that they need are 
        unaffordable in the United States.
            (5) Americans should be able to purchase medicines at 
        prices that are comparable to prices for such medicines in 
        other countries, but efforts to enable such purchases should 
        not endanger the gold standard for safety and effectiveness 
        that has been established and maintained in the United States.
    (c) Amendment.--Chapter VIII of the Federal Food, Drug, and 
Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 381 et seq.) is amended--
            (1) in section 801(d)(1), by inserting ``and section 804'' 
        after ``paragraph (2)''; and
