Pharm and biotech disclosure now law in MA
Kevin McNicholas (2008-08-11)
MASSACHUSETTS (wfcr) - On Sunday governor Deval Patrick signed legislation that will require pharmaceutical and biotechnology firms to inform the state when they give a medical professional something worth more than 50 dollars. That information would in turn be made public. The industry has been lobbying hard against the disclosure requirement which was part of a bill designed to bring spiraling health care costs under control. Kevin McNicholas has more in this report from the state house. © Copyright 2009, wfcr
