Urgent: Oppose 21st Century Curse bill

dimanche 4 décembre 2016 à 01:00

US citizens: call on Senate Democrats to oppose the 21st Century Cures bill.

It was written to improve health care, but corporate lobbyists hijacked it and converted it (in substance) into the "21st Century Curse Act".

Some details are in this article whose main point is how US "patient advocacy" groups have been paid by big pharma to lobby for that hijacking.

The 21st Century Curse Act would allow drug companies to make secret payments to doctors.

Drug companies have gone to great lengths to corrupt the medical system, even going to the point of making phony "scientific journals" to publish resmercials that praise their products. It is not a mere possibility that these secret payments would be in exchange for prescribing their drugs.
