One example of continued corruption:

Is Avandia a dangerous drug?
http://www.gsk.com/media/press-releases/2013/gsk-statement-in-response-to-fda-advisory-committees-vote-on-ava.html

"Concerns about rosiglitazone's adverse effects has reduced its use despite the benefits it offers in treating diabetes.[2] Adverse effects caused by rosiglitazone are currently the subject of over 13,000 lawsuits against GSK.[3] As of July 2010, GSK has agreed to settlements on more than 11,500 of these suits.
The drug is controversial and is estimated to have caused 83,000 heart attacks in the United States alone. Some reviewers have recommended rosiglitazone be taken off the market, but a Food and Drug Administration panel disagreed, and it remains available in the U.S., subject to significant restrictions.[4] From November 18, 2011, the federal government will not allow Avandia to be sold without a prescription from certified doctors. Patients will be required to be informed of the risks associated with its use, and the drug will be required to be purchased by mail order through specified pharmacies.[5]"

Any idea home much money is spent by the US tax payers to treat 83,000 heart attacks?
