Eil Lilly is paying $1.4 billion to settle charges relating to it's off-label promotion of Zyprexa. The company pled guilty to a misdemeanor... That's an expensive slap on the wrist.
Meanwhile, I wonder how much of that settlement will go to group such as The Prescription Project, Public Citizen, The Prescription Access Litigation Project, Community Catalyst, etc and trial attorneys as opposed to state governments.. How much will actually go to Medicaid patients instead of bottom feeders and the interest groups that front for them?
$1.4 billion can buy a lot of research activity for medicines that could save the lives of kids with cancer or seniors with Alzheimers...instead most of it will go to tort lawyers.
