New Jersey Attorney General Anne Milgram said she would convene a task force today to consider if the state should require drug firms and medical-device-makers to report gifts they give to physicians.
“I want to be confident that my doctor is prescribing the best drug for me, not something in his financial interest,” she said. “I think it’s an important public issue regardless of where companies are located.”
Should these companies be forced to report what they give to doctors? Let us know what you think in the comments.
