Bernie Sanders, Angus King Propose Drug Advertising Ban in Consumer Marketing [View all]
“Sens Bernie Sanders and Angus King have introduced new legislation that would ban prescription drug advertising on television, radio, print, digital platforms and social media.
The bill, known as the End Prescription Drug Ads Now Act, would apply to all drugs and biologics, including those currently on the market.
“With the exception of New Zealand, the United States is the only country in the world where it is legal for pharmaceutical companies to advertise their drugs on television. It is time for us to end that international embarrassment,” Sanders said in a statement. “The American people don’t want to see misleading and deceptive prescription drug ads on television. They want us to take on the greed of the pharmaceutical industry and ban these bogus ads“
