Grassley pushes for 'Sunshine' rule release


Grassley pushes for 'Sunshine' rule release-politico: Sen. Chuck Grassley is demanding — once again — that CMS release a long-delayed rule that will require drug and device makers to disclose financial relationships with doctors. The Iowa Republican sent a letter Tuesday to White House chief of staff Jack Lew, arguing that the rule is 15 months past a deadline set by the Physician Payments Sunshine Act — a part of the 2010 federal health care law.
