Grassley on Additions to Doctor Payment Database; Says Sunshine Act Fulfills Public Interest

Press Release

Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa today made the following comment on CMS' addition of records to the database made possible under the Physician Payments Sunshine Act, which Grassley co-authored and saw through to enactment into law.

"CMS continues to make the database more complete and more helpful for the public. The dollar amount over a short period of time might be higher than many people might have anticipated. There's a strong public interest in knowing where this money goes and why."
