A Question of Corruption
The Center for Public Integrity reported today that pharma spent $155 million on lobbying between January 2005 and June 2006. For more from its report, click here. Pharma alone spent $18 million, but individually, Pfizer, GSK and Merck were said to be the biggest spenders. This was the subject of a CBS 60 Minutes television spot yesterday. Watch it here, if you missed it.
Many Thanks to the On Pharma blog for this info
