    I was watching John Oliver's show the other day and he was discussing an aspect of the ACA that is revealing some incredible info about the relationship between big pharma and MDs.

    As part of the ACA there is something called the Physician Financial Transparency Reports (Sunshine Act).

    the actual reports can be found at:
    https://www.cms.gov/OpenPayments/Explore-the-Data/Data-Overview.html

    Yet another reason that so many with vested interests want the act repealed. I bet this is driving Big Pharma nuts and giving the thousands of MDs on their payola lists all kinds of discomfort.

    Is the Sunshine Act part of the ACA?
