Senators Seek Public Listing of Payments to Doctors - New York Times

Senators Seek Public Listing of Payments to Doctors - New York Times: "Makers of drugs and medical devices would be required to report publicly nearly all payments and gifts to doctors under legislation introduced Thursday in the Senate. “Right now, the public has no way to know whether a doctor’s been given money that might affect prescribing habits,” said Senator Charles E. Grassley of Iowa, the ranking Republican on the Senate Finance Committee and one of the bill’s authors."
