One company, TAP Pharmaceutical Products, Inc. has already been fined $875
million for "fraudulent schemes for pricing, sales, and marketing" its
prostate cancer drug Lupron -- the largest health-care fraud settlement in
history. And last week, Schering-Plough agreed to pay $500 million in fines
to the federal government because of long-term quality control problems at
its plants. Investigators are predicting more guilty pleas and hefty
settlements. If the Feds keep it up, this could be the cure for the growing
budget deficit. Since we so often lament the terrible injustices that surround us, let's take a moment to celebrate this rare instance of chronically corrupt corporations getting a helping of their just desserts. Maybe we can even patent it. Until then, a generic toast to the drug industry: Here's to you, boys. You asked for it. You got it. We can only hope there's more to come.
With the Illinois Lottery’s landmark 30th anniversary this year, Lottery Superintendent Carolyn Adams called on Hill & Knowlton to increase visibility of new games and activities, as well as promote the 11-state Mega Millions game. As the Mega Millions jackpot climbed to a record $230 million in February, H&K used the opportunity to both gain exposure for the Illinois Lottery and create positive buzz surrounding the 30th anniversary campaign. |
