This is a way for Merck to recover lost profits due to their Vioxx problem. Gov. Perry of TX was too friendly with a Merck lobbyist which is why the TX law was passed. Merck was ordered to cease all lobbying, but evidently they hit up the GA legislators before the cessation. Do not approve this bill.
