Opinion Piece Lauds Bill To Close Rx Kickback Loophole
In a Capitol Weekly opinion piece, Hollaine Hopkins -- executive director of the Lupus Foundation of Southern California -- argues that a bill (AB 670), by Assembly member Toni Atkins (D-San Diego), is "common-sense legislation that will shine a light on the dangerous practice of therapeutic substitution and close the loophole in the law that allows pharmacists to take kickbacks for making a therapeutic switch."
