SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- California faces a $6.2 billion budget gap in the state's Medicaid services, which could force Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom and Democratic lawmakers to reevaluate future coverage for some of the 15 million people who receive health care through the program, including immigrants. The shortfall comes a year after California launched an ambitious coverage expansion to provide free health care to all low-income adults regardless of their immigration status. That's costing far more than the state projected. California also is bracing for major budget hits if Republicans in Congress follow through with a plan to slash billions of dollars in Medicaid and potentially jeopardize coverage for millions of people. California provides free health care to more than a third of its 39 million people. read more

"It's a well-documented fact that adverse prescription drug effects and other medical errors are the third leading cause of death in America. Adverse drug events harm 2.7 million hospitalized patients in the U.S. annually, with over 106,000 deaths and that's just for hospitalized patients. Another 350,00 adverse drug events occur in U.S. nursing homes each year.

And believe it or not, by most estimates, only 1-10% of adverse events are ever reported.

Are there no effective safeguards in place to protect consumers from dangerous drugs? And who might be to blame?

That good question was studied by researchers at Harvard (Donald W. Light, Joel Lexchin, and Jonathan J. Darrow)[i]. What did they find? While not absolving physicians of their responsibility to get the facts about drugs " what they discovered about the big pharmaceutical companies is disturbing ...

"Institutional corruption is a normative concept of growing importance that embodies the systemic dependencies and informal practices that distort an institution's societal mission.

An extensive range of studies and lawsuits already documents strategies by which pharmaceutical companies hide, ignore, or misrepresent evidence about new drugs; distort the medical literature; and misrepresent products to prescribing physicians.

We focus on the consequences for patients: millions of adverse reactions. After defining institutional corruption, we focus on evidence that it lies behind the epidemic of harms and the paucity of benefits...

The authors of this study found that institutional corruption in the pharmaceutical industry occurs on three levels:

Lobbying efforts and political contributions
Industry pressure on the FDA
Commercializing the role of physicians"
