Hello everyone,

Although I understand Roberto’s perspective, I also agree that the restrictions are important and necessary. Effective January 2012, the Sunshine Act required that pharmaceutical companies and durable medical equipments suppliers report gifts to physicians in excess of $25. I think this is a fair amount, since like Andrew and others have stated, if one was to splurge or spend money on those who are not part of the business project. In the example provided, it would be difficult to prevent bias potentially to the consumer.
