America Speaks Out in Favor of Affordable Healthcare and Biogenerics in Teva's
Fourth Video

WASHINGTON, June 24 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, the
leading generic pharmaceutical company, today released its fourth video in a
series as part of the "Year of Affordable Healthcare" campaign.  The video,
developed in "man on the street" style asks individuals what they think about
healthcare in the U.S.  It is available at
www.yearofaffordablehealth.com/gallery is meant to illustrate the important
savings generic drugs have produced for everyday Americans since the passage
of the Hatch-Waxman Drug Price Competition Act 25 years ago.

Teva's Year of Affordable Healthcare is a nationwide campaign to recognize the
important role that generic drugs play in providing competitive and more
affordable healthcare.  In addition, the campaign calls upon federal
legislators to enact further reforms, including passage of a competitive
regulatory approval pathway for generic biologics to increase American access
to affordable and lifesaving medicines.

Launched February 10, 2009, the Year of Affordable Healthcare campaign has
worked to highlight the struggle that Americans face when it comes to rising
healthcare costs. Along with these videos and a nationwide poll released last
February, the campaign is also holding a series of regional forums exploring
American priorities regarding affordable medicine and healthcare. The first
forum was held on May 28th in San Francisco, with subsequent events being held
in Chicago on June 30th and Philadelphia in July.
