And we wonder how thousands of people continue to be killed by Big Pharm

Nothing in the bogus reform, reforms this largest expense of modern medicine, nor protects us from Big Pharm's shoddy meds and lies.

The medical profession’s lack of outrage is sobering.

This is because corruption runs rampant through the health care industry and any industry connected to it. Don't expect anyone in the medical profession to show outrage because they would probably lose their position and status in the medical community if they did.

The outrage must come from us.
