Despite the fact that the US spends more on healthcare than other nations — both on a per-capita basis and relative to its wealth — the amount of time Americans live in good health ranks a dismal 68th in the world. And while it may seem like we’re drifting into wingnut territory by blaming it on popular conspiracy scapegoat “Big Pharma,” the pharmaceutical industry’s overweighted influence in the halls of American policy is well-documented. It’s no exaggeration to say that securing record profits for its shareholders is Big Pharma’s primary goal. Anything else — including the health of the very people who depend on its products — is secondary.
On this episode, we’re joined by Dr. John Abramson, author of Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine and Sickening: How Big Pharma Broke American Health Care and How We Can Repair It. Here, John explains why Big Pharma has such a stranglehold on the way healthcare works (or, more accurately, doesn’t work) for the American public, the consequences of allowing such an amoral behemoth to run slipshod over the welfare of the people it’s supposed to serve, and what can be done to heal the hurt it’s caused over the course of decades. Listen, learn, and enjoy!
