ACORN, no might oak. Let's ban Pfizer and Upjohn drugs from Medicare, Medicaid payments for drugs, from VA hospitals, and from DOD field hospitals. They paid $2.3 billion for illegal pimping of one of their drugs to doctors!

(collectively “Pfizer”) agreed to pay $2.3 billion, the largest health care fraud settlement in the history of the Department of Justice (“DOJ”). The settlement with Pfizer arises out of civil and criminal allegations relating to Pfizer’s allegedly illegal promotion of certain drugs, most notably Bextra.
