What about it?

They can't lie to you, thats fraud. Malpractice law exists. If that's what you mean?

But elsewhere in life, stores get a kick back to sell Pepsi up front, or bud light near the isle, etc...

Bartenders and waiters get told to push things, etc .

I don't have a problem with that in the slightest

However in most all cases, drug makers have the initial patent, there aren't multiple d rugs of the same type being offered at the same time.

The question isn't about money, but medicine. If there was 2 drugs, both similar and recommended by the doctor, but one gave the doc a kickback, so be it.

You either trust your doctor or you don't. He either prescribed something to fix the ailment or not. Getting a kickback doesn't change the equation.
