When Campaign Desk first reported on drug industry lobbying last November, we urged reporters to connect the dots on this one. Reporters have told us that it’s hard to do that. Still, enough of how nice Harry and Louise are; enough of the oohs and ahs over the strange bedfellows ad campaigns; enough of reporting on industry thank-you notes. Americans are being sorely misled.

The drug companies have too much power and influence over doctors, med schools, and media. We're tired of paying for your expensive meds that don't do the trick. Your drug prices go up every year and they aren't solving any problems. I hope the Obama administration will be able to do something constructive to change the healthcare system.

They are crooks, all of them. They have too much control and have the liberty to increase the drug prices every year. Their drugs aren't getting better either. There are no improvements over the older drugs. college grants
