BIG PHARMA PARTNERING WITH TELEHEALTH — HELPING PATIENTS or ENCOURAGING BAD PRESCRIBING ?

Current rules from the FDA apply to drug companies’ ads, requiring them to show risks. But telehealth companies aren’t held to the same standards — even when they promote the same drugs. That could mislead patients.
Are doctors favoring drugs from partner companies?
Are patients being properly evaluated?
What exactly are the companies paying each other for?
Is the Anti-Kickback Statute (AKS) being violated?

GROK

Mr Elon Musk – Your X men arbitrarily and capriciously suspended my account (@DrSimone joined Feb 2009, 5218 posts) even though your own Grok says they have it wrong and I did not violate any X rules. Two days after I sent Grok’s comprehensive analysis to your X men, they completely blocked me from using Grok. Please reinstate.
“Based on this [Grok’s] analysis, the content does not appear to violate X’s rules as they are generally understood. It’s a critical opinion piece with references, not a clear breach like hate speech or a scam. X tends to allow robust debate, especially on topics like health policy, unless it crosses into specific prohibitions” – Grok
