Sen. Grassley comments on medical device maker payments to doctors

The following press release was published by the United States Senate Committee on Finance Chairman's News on Sept. 26, 2007. It is reproduced in full below.

Transparency builds trust, and full disclosure about the dollars that device makers give to doctors would let patients know if they should be more or less concerned about a doctor's allegiance to a particular product line. It looks like there's a lot of money being spent right now, so more sunshine and accountability could do a lot of good.
