Some of the nation's worst drug dealers aren't peddling on street corners, they've occupying corporate suites. The book reveals the greed and corruption that drive health care costs skyward and now threaten the public health. Before you see a doctor, you should read this book. MightI suggest also to watch the movie "Side Effects" that is available to rent at video stores and other rental dealers.

Very informative book. Lots of useful information about Big Pharma and how they willingly sacrifice our health for profit. A better writer could have made this a very interesting read, but this guy is a bit dry. If it gets too boring, I skip a page or two. Well worth it because Abramson spent many years educating himself about the subject and he crams 3 books worth of information into this thick hardcover. You'll be amazed at how you're being exploited, poisoned and even killed for profit by Big Pharma. I am keeping my copy.
