Candidates pledge action on gift ban, drug discounts

Mass High Tech: The Journal of New England Technology

Three Massachusetts gubernatorial candidates took on the issue of how to continue promoting the biotechnology industry in a forum sponsored by MassBio in Cambridge today.

All three candidates - Charlie Baker, Tim Cahill and Gov. Deval Patrick - vowed that they would take action on the state’s pharmaceutical and medical device gift ban [1] governing interactions between companies and doctors. Industry executives, and many doctors, have complained that the law inhibits interaction between the two groups and stifles innovation.
