U.S. Supreme Court May Allow Private Citizens to Use the Freedom of Information Act

April 18, 2011 - PRLog -- If the Supreme Court decides in favor of the private citizen, there may be disastrous results for the pharmaceutical, medical device and biotechnology companies who already feel that it is too easy for employees to call the government.  The Department of Justice estimates that fraud costs the Medicare system between $30 - $60 billion annually.  The government continues to put the industry on notice for the risks - now find the solutions.
