It's been a big week for transparency. Not only as it pertains to manufacturers, health care reform, and the revised Sunshine Act, but also as it affects Executive Salaries for firms who take bailout money, the Peanut Corporation of America and how much information it must provide to the FDA when it finds salmonella in its product, and Tom Daschle's short-lived nomination to take over as Secretary of HHS. (That actually does pertain to pharma. How could Daschle effectively monitor physician payments when he can't even keep track of his own income, which just happens to include money for pricey speaking engagements? Don't get me started.)
In any event, transparency is a big deal, so Senior Associate Justin Wutti has compiled some Articles of the Week, outlining the more relevant ways it might affect you. Thanks Justin!
