University of Virginia Medical School’s Grade on AMSA ScoreCard

UVA received a “C” for being In Process of revising its policies but its existing policies would not have passed if one looks at the scorecard.  In all fairness, all other Virginia medical schools that were graded got an “F”.  To me personally, this helps me to understand why we can’t get psychiatric drugs added to the Medicaid formulary in Virginia and why our Attorney General has failed to sue pharmaceutical companies as so many other states have for big settlements Virginia could surely use over the issue of off-label marketing of drugs, especially psychiatric drugs.  Virginia is not rolling in money for health care or anything else, what else explains the failure to sue drug companies but the lack of a push by the medical establishment in this state for such a suit and the places the state goes to for advice on such matters not having their own houses conflict of interest-free?  I’m definitely open to alternate explanations of why we are letting millions if not billions of dollars go without claim by our state Attorney General.
