Marino's legislative work on pharmaceuticals belongs in the lede

His legislative work on pharmaceuticals, in particular as the chief architect of recent legislation that limited the DEA's enforcement powers regarding opioids, belongs in the lede. Not only does it get by far the most singular coverage of anything in the main body of the article (per WP:LEDE, a lede should summarize the main body), but is highly relevant to the position that he's currently being considered for (drug czar). How to phrase it is fair to debate, but removing it from the lede is not consistent with Wiki policy. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 16:30, 16 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's there. --MelanieN (talk) 21:25, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Does "the pharmaceutical bill" have its own article?

It should, and we should link to it. I don't even know what the name of the bill was (and WaPo has a paywall now). 128.29.43.2 (talk) 16:44, 17 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Good point. It's pretty obscure; I've been digging for 15 minutes. Marino introduced it in 2014 as Ensuring Patient Access and Effective Drug Enforcement Act, but it was strongly opposed by DEA and the Justice Department. It passed the House but stalled in the Senate. He introduced it again in 2015 and it passed the House by unanimous consent but doesn't appear to be the bill of record.

The Ensuring Patient Access and Effective Drug Enforcement Act of 2016 appears to be the bill that actually passed. It's recorded as a senate bill, primary sponsor Orrin Hatch. It passed the Senate by unanimous consent on March 17. 2016. The Senate version passed the House on April 12, and was signed by Obama on April 19. Here's a lengthy article that spells it all out: The drug industry's triumph over the DEA, Chicago Tribune, October 15, 2017. --MelanieN (talk) 21:45, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've added some details about this to the article. There may not be enough coverage for a separate article about the bill, which was considered uncontroversial at the time it passed. --MelanieN (talk) 22:08, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
