September 10th, 2007

In the USA Senate, Sens. Chuck Grassley and Herb Kohl are introducing legislation to require manufacturers of pharmaceutical drugs, devices and biologics to disclose the amount of money they give to doctors through payments, gifts, honoraria, travel and other means.

Senator Grassley’s web site & the NY Times help explain more of the details.

The impact of this proposed legislation on the ultrasound, device & contrast agents companies could be significant.
