Pharma has so many tricks up theri sleese, the feds are way, way behind. They change the names of the programs, hide them, bury the bribes, and deal with it as they have to. It's coming from every direction. If a doc decides to give in, they are well rewarded for their loyalty. Good luck with trying to put a stop to this behavior!

That list would be long enough. many of these guys are on retainer for more than that - with multiple companies!

I don't always side with the industry on this blog - but that seems ridiculous. The lower limit needs to be a lot higher. They need to disclose gifts >$25/year?

It is already in place by some device makers and it is a real joy to visit their websites and look through the disclosure page. Must be quite exciting for patients... Actually, this is a great bill.

It would also illustrate the autonomy of how the pharma money is dispensed and the pharma's lack of true control of what goes out to generate business for them. Pharma is convinced that the more they spend, the more revenue this will generate. Problem is that they dross the line perhaps from a legal paradigm, so I'd be nervous about such a bill as well.
