“ Sens. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) and Angus King (I., Maine) introduced a bill Thursday that would ban pharmaceutical manufacturers from using direct-to-consumer advertising, including social media, to promote their products.

This is already the rule in almost all rich countries.

I have heard that the pharma companies wouldn't mind. Tougher to ramp scrips for new drugs, but it would save them a bundle. Probably bigger pushback from (say) TV networks.
