With over half of the population in VT on VT medicaid, VT should welcome drug samples as these samples keep many of their residents on the medications that they need.

That is a great idea. This practice would show transparency to all. As a professional in health care I see the positive impact medicine and device companies provide everyday for patients. These companies are the most regulated companies in the world, yet the made out to be the enemy. Not only will the American public can see the millions of dollars that are put into free samples, they may also understand the investment and time put into the development of new medicines and technologies.
