I actually think most pharma-CEOs got these same paragraphs -- Schering-Plough's CEO Hassan surely did.
Nonetheless, the general point is extremely well-taken -- all the pharma CEOs would be wise to agree to these AMA voluntary standards, immediately, lest a Democratic Congress (and potentially, a Democratic White House -- come January 2009) LEGISLATE, and sign into law, far more stringent standards -- effectively forcing them upon the industry.
Just my $0.02.
PS -- Here's the link to the Hassan letter, on mine:
