Abstract

 

A December 21, 2004 report by the watchdog group Public Citizen provides

information that explains why it's been a holiday every day for the

pharmaceutical industry, since George W. Bush took office. Thirteen

pharmaceutical industry executives or lobbyists rank among Bush's

" Rangers "

and " Pioneers, " the honorary titles given to those who have raised at

least

$200,000 or $100,000, respectively, for one of Bush's presidential

campaigns, according to Public Citizen, " Together, these pharmaceutical

industry super-fundraisers have raised at least $2.2 million for Bush. "

 

This report also provides details concerning TeenScreen, the Texas

Medication Algorithm Project (TMAP), and other programs, including

Medicaid,

the National Institute of Health (NIH), and Food and Drug Administration

(FDA) riddled with conflicts of interest. © Copyright 2005. Pearblossom
