kevin  The link to the article that @Aleinad is referencing, about the National Health Council, is now dead. As a point of clarification, that quote is from the AP article's description of the NHC's letter. That AP article is here, on NHC's website: http://www.nationalhealthcouncil.org/NHC_...

The response from the National Health Council does not dispute the finding that the organization is funded in large part by pharmaceutical companies.

See the full letter here: http://www.nationalhealthcouncil.org/page...

Aleinad  The National Health Council sent House leaders working on health care reform a letter urging them to "protect the makers of high-technology biological medicines against early competition from lower-cost generic copycats." Guess who NHC gets money from? Eli Lilly, Wyeth, PhRma, Pfizer, etc. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090803/ap_on...
