A federal judge has ruled that three pharmaceutical companies artificially marked up their prices in order to defraud medicare and encourage doctors to prescribe their drugs over those of competitors. The judge agreed with the plaintiffs’ complaint that the drug companies deliberately inflated their average wholesale prices in 2003, when those prices were still used to determine medicare reimbursements. This created a gap between the prices medicare was paying and the (lower) prices charged to doctors and pharmacies. This meant that doctors would actually be reimbursed more than they had paid for the drugs, creating a profit incentive for doctors to prescribe certain products.

Top Ten Signs Your Country May Be Going Fascist Ron Paul Speaks On The Problems With The U.S. – Pakistan Relationship The Hidden Story of Jesus Video – Broadcast UK – Channel 4 – Dec 26, 2007 Theologian Dr Robert Beckford investigates amazing parallels to the Christ story in other faiths, some of them predating Christianity by thousands of years. The Hindu god, Krishna, was conceived by a virgin and his birth was attended by angels, wise men and shepherds. Buddha was also the result of a miraculous birth and visited by wise men bearing gifts. Beckford attempts to unravel the mystery of why there are so many versions of the Christ story across the world and asks which is the real one. Even the Old Testament copied other stories. The story of Noah, for example, was lifted almost intact (complete with sending out birds to find land) from the far older Epic of Gilgamesh MORE NEWS VIDEOS OP–EDDavid J.
