It is reported that 20 US States have filed lawsuits against pharmas ( including TEVA) for price fixing. If only our Government was more proactive.

If our Government were more proactive Treepie they would be awake. They need to wake up and admit what our medication is doing to us and at an extortionate price.

I don't know about price fixing, but I came across this website "dollars for docs" where you plug in the name of your doctor and when it comes up hit his name for a more detailed description of what drug companies are paying off doctors to push their drugs. My doctor wanted me to take aptiom for my epilepsy and I looked it up and they gave him $90,000 last year. His nurse said that's not true, but I believe it. Anybody else know about this or whether overactive thyroid contributes to epilepsy.
