Pfizer agrees record fraud fine ...

£1.4 billion pounds... in related news, the drugs companies by blocking generic versions have cost EU healthcare providers £2.5 billion from 2000 - 2007

Fraud seems to be ripping off billions of dollars each year from the USA people through scams by healthcare companies.

And this is great by those who protect it, or just a thing that stays under the carpet?

Ferris Bueller:

One thing bothers me about this. Have any doctors been prosecuted? It takes two to tango. If doctors are taking perks and kickbacks, the doctors should be liable too. I think a message should be sent to the medical profession too. Being participants in illegal marketing of drugs should have consequences. I think the penalties on Pfizer were warranted and other drug companies should be throughly investigated and fined accordingly. Doctors should be heavily fined too. Their job is to heal people and save human lives. Their job is not to go to resorts and get royal treatment for promoting drugs to patients illegally.

Übergeek 바둑이: Not just the doctors, but anyone involved in inappropriate money making. Management, politicians.. anyone. Also if doctors are caught red handed.. they ought to be struck off.

I've heard talk since the Clinton admin of how health firms buy people off. Such is the profit available that a few million here and there is nothing to them.
