There is in fact an 'anti-evergreening' clause which explicitly provides no new exclusivity period would be granted for "a change (not including a modification to the...

It looks like the Democrats are going to be able to pass a solid health care reform through the House, i.e., one that includes a meaningful public option. But also one that throws women's right to choose out the window. As Jane Hamsher writes in NARAL and Planned Parenthood: Ineffectiveness Anti-Choice Democrats Can Rely On Huffington Post 11/07/09: Democrats in Congress have just proudly...
