News Roundup
- High Court To Hear Case Over ‘Data Mining’ Of Drug Prescription Data (Liberal, Political News & Candidate). I'm in the minority I know but I really don't care that much about data mining of pharmaceutical drugs prescriptions, on Facebook or anywhere else.
- Health care bill ends pre-tax purchases of aspirin and other non-prescription drugs (Politi fact)
- FCSO targets Rx abuse (Forsyth News)

- Four file lawsuit against Vancouver pain clinic (The Columbian). I understand these cases, I really do. The problem is, when it comes to narcotic prescriptions it takes two: a prescribing doctor and a patient who is taking the medication. In many cases, both bear responsibility and, in my opinion, the patient often bears the bulk of the responsibility.
- The Drug and Device Law Blog reports on the granting of cert in a pharmaceutical drug company First Amendment case. I personally don't think James Madison was thinking about Johnson & Johnson when he was writing that little diddy up.
