Remember To Take Your Pills
The California Legislature seems to be tentatively endorsing a bill that would allow pharmacies to partner with drug companies to send out letters reminding patients to refill their prescriptions.
The bills sponsor seems to be getting all kinds of flack for allegedly being indebted to the pharmaceutical industry.
Senate Bill 1096 by Sen. Ron Calderon, D-Montebello, is sponsored by a medical information company facing an invasion of privacy class-action suit that alleges some practices the legislation would make legal.
…
Calderon, who has received more than $21,000 in campaign contributions from pharmaceutical companies and pharmacy chains, said his bill does not allow “marketing or sales pitches.”
Whatever the case may be, there doesn’t seem to be much effort employed to avoid having this look “shady”.
