Drug industry to buy ads backing White House health plan:
The drug industry has authorized its lobbyists to spend as much as $150 million on television commercials supporting President Barack Obama's health-care overhaul, beginning over the August congressional recess, people briefed on the plans said yesterday.
The unusually large scale of the industry's commitment to the cause helps explain some of a contentious back-and-forth playing out in recent days between the odd-couple allies over a deal that the White House struck with the industry in June to secure its support.
