"NH drug-privacy law survives challenge"

"NH drug-privacy law survives challenge": An article published today in The Nashua (N.H.) Telegraph begins, "A New Hampshire law that shields doctors' prescription records from drug companies does not violate the Constitution, the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled. In a 148-page ruling released Tuesday, the federal appeals court overturned a ruling by the state's U.S. District Court, in a 2-1 split decision, and found that keeping prescription records confidential does not violate the First Amendment."

And The New York Times reports today that "Federal Court Upholds Drug Privacy Law."

My earlier coverage of yesterday's First Circuit ruling appears at this link.
