Hardly seems like a disincentive: AbbVie agreed to pay $24m million to settle the case for paying kickbacks to doctors& using a stealthy network of nurses to illegally boost prescriptions of its Humira. Which last year generated $14.8 billion in sales in the U.S. alone. @statnews

Today, we did something we've never done before on CBS: We dedicated an entire hour to a conversation about mental health.
If you or a loved one are experiencing a mental health crisis, call 1-800-273-8255 or try these resources: cbsn.ws/31D6nwX #StopTheStigma
Stigma creates an incurable brand. Let’s Treat Mental Illness instead. #StopTheStigma – at Honolulu, HI
"Words have power and the word 'stigma' is its own stigma"
@CBSSunday's @RealJanePauley explains why she doesn't like the word 'stigma': "Every time you use the word stigma, it’s a reminder for people like me that I’m fighting two wars." #StopTheStigma cbsn.ws/35Zax5E
