This book is very well researched and organized. Marcia Angell knows the subject inside and out. Maybe her next book will tell us which drugs are really just a marketing scam. Everyone should read this book to understand how corrupt the drug industry is.

An indispensable book for anyone interested in healthcare reform. Everyone complains about affordable health insurance, but no one asks why health costs are so high in the first place. After 20+ years on the editorial staff of the New England Journal of Medicine, Marcia Angell became fed up with the obvious unethical practices of Big Pharma. She presents a well-researched and extremely thorough look at how Big Pharma is draining Americans dry. Although the book does get a bit repetitive, it was definitely worth finishing. I think most informed Americans are aware of at least some of the realities presented in this book, but it still has a lot to offer and solid evidence to back up each claim.
