Letter From the Editor


Honestly.

Today's DOTmed News is awash in legislative and judicial stories. The President's budget proposal is full of health care provisions. Read about them at a glance in one report, get some perspective in another. In addition, the Supreme Court has ruled in favor of a patient in a tragic and far-reaching decision against drug makers.

Of course our lead story is a juicy one about a situation we have covered in the past. DOTmed's Honest/Dishonest Forum Posts provided an early warning about alleged activities of the person now indicted for fraud. I can't say for sure but big brother may be watching our web site for tips on people who might warrant attention from the IRS or Justice Department.

So get your headlines, and your heads up, here at DOTmed.com.

See you tomorrow.
