They will never pay a dime out of their own pockets and will never serve a day for what they've done. This is America and corporate executives routinelt get away with this type of behavior. The bottom line is money drives everything. That's the dark side of blind capitalism without checks and balances. My prediction is that Fred hassan and Carrie Cox will get away free.

I imagine that if they didn't take money from either company, they would have told patients that they should panic and stop taking their medication and not consult their physician.

If they so much as imply decrease in plaques or push publications that do so, it's just as bad as coming right out and making the claim.

The Vytorin label does not promise it will decrease plaque build-up, only that it will lower cholesterol. If the companies legally marketed within the label, does Iowa have a case?
