latimes.com: Bush signed law blocking generic drug Texas was one of just three states to make it harder for doctors to prescribe cheaper blood-thinner From Los Angeles Times Staff and Wire Reports October 18, 2000 Web posted at: 12:35 p.m. EDT (1635 GMT) WASHINGTON (Los Angeles Times) -- Gov. George W. Bush, who has promised on the campaign trail to make prescription drugs more affordable, signed legislation making it harder for Texas doctors to prescribe a cheaper generic version of a popular blood-thinning drug. The 1997 law was sought by DuPont Merck Pharmaceutical, the drug giant that manufactures the name-brand drug. DuPont tried to persuade states to block the new generic competition. Just three states, including Texas, adopted laws.
