National Autism Association Says Senate Gift to Drug Companies is Unconstitutional

"Some senators tagged it a "Merry Fristmas" for drug companies -- after the House passed it Monday."

Children’s advocacy and consumer watchdog organizations are calling this provision an affront to democracy and civil rights. "
