This month, the Supreme Court will rule on President Obama’s health care law. But contrary to popular belief, it will not be considering whether to overturn the entirety of the president’s health care agenda. Even if the court finds the Affordable Care Act unconstitutional, other troubling aspects of the president’s policies will remain intact unless Congress fixes them. Consider a program created by the 2009 stimulus bill, known as academic detailing. The program sends government representatives, akin to drug representatives, into doctor’s offices to influence prescribing decisions.

The more information physicians have, the better equipped they are to provide quality care to patients. But under academic detailing, the government may be grossly misinforming doctors about medical choices. Thanks to a total lack of transparency in the program, there is no way for the public to know.
