Unbelievably eye-opening and mind-blowing!
Dr. Marcia Angell does a fantastic job of revealing exactly what her title promises: the truth about the drug companies. She packs the book with facts and stories from years passed that will leave your jaw on the floor and demanding the attention of your senator(s) and/or representatives(s)! I work at a major pharmacy retail chain and I was always under the assumption that drugs cost so much because of Research and Development. I no longer tell patients that R & D is to blame for high drug prices. Dr. Angell even provides ideas and insight on how to fix the problem. It's time everyone knew the truth about the drug companies!
