Some states are trying to pass laws that would require medical companies to publicly report all gifts to physicians. Are you for or against such a law?

2.1/30/2008 2:26:00 PMlets report everyones entire information and irs records etc. etc. -how absurd
3.1/30/2008 3:19:00 PMImpractical. A dollar limit should be enforced; politicians should be included.
4.1/30/2008 3:28:00 PMSTOP THE GIFTS
5.1/30/2008 5:57:00 PMNo exceptionalism for physicians. We are entitled to the same liberties as all Americans. I did not surrender my citizenship when I became a doctor.
6.1/30/2008 6:02:00 PMI suspect the legislation will be difficult to formulate, as &quot;gifts&quot; take so many forms
7.1/30/2008 6:31:00 PMfor
8.1/30/2008 7:40:00 PMFor, within reason. I think that small dollar limits of reporting (or no-limit reporting) is ridiculous. $50 per year in fair market value of gifts seems reasonable to me.

10.1/30/2008 10:37:00 PMIf this is done, I believe pharmaceutical samples should be excluded and not reported as a &quot;gift&quot;. These are given to patients, and not to the physician per se.
11.1/30/2008 11:11:00 PMno opinion
12.1/31/2008 2:49:00 AMneutral, but if they do it for us, then do it for other businesses, too
13.1/31/2008 6:10:00 PMGeneral population and daily press could use that for different purposes so I generaly against it
14.1/31/2008 7:01:00 PMWhy not. If there is nothing to be ashamed about put it in the open
15.1/31/2008 9:27:00 PMnormal freedom of information for anyone who wants it
16.2/1/2008 7:38:00 PMsame as question 15.
17.2/2/2008 3:59:00 PMOnly if all companies must do this for all clients - auto, etc.
18.2/3/2008 10:05:00 AMagainst except gifts over $100 should be reported
