Summary

The untold story of how Big Pharma corrupts medical knowledge—misleading doctors, misdirecting American health care, and harming our health

America’s health care system is unique in prioritizing corporate interests over the public good。 At the heart of the problem is Big Pharma, which controls the medical research agenda, holds the real data from its clinical trials as corporate secrets, and shapes the information available to health care professionals to maximize its profits。 

Combining patient stories with what he learned during many years of serving as an expert in national drug litigation (with access to the information hidden inside corporate computers), John Abramson unravels this mystery, explains the harm being done to all Americans, and presents a path toward reform。
