[QUOTE="Tanis143, post: 3250055, member: 43724"] How about looking up doctors in your area to see how much they have been paid by pharmaceutical companies? [URL]https://openpaymentsdata.cms.gov/[/URL] Doctors have been paid to promote (note: not prescribe) drugs for a long time. The problem is that some doctors "promote" by telling a patient that x drug will solve their problems but fail to mention that there are other, sometimes safer and sometimes cheaper, drugs that will do the same the same thing. So please tell me that's false. One of the few things I did like about the ACA is that now any and all payments from pharma companies to doctors over $10 must be reported and with the above website you can look up doctors in your area to see how much they get. That's not to mention how many doctors have stocks in pharma companies, which is totally legal. [/QUOTE]
