In this episode, I sit down with Dr. John Abramson, author of “Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine” and “Sickening: How Big Pharma Broke American Health Care and How We Can Repair It,” to discuss the current political climate as it relates to the health care industry.

Dr. Abramson shares his insights gained from over 10 years as an expert medical witness in Big Pharma litigation cases to reveal to us some of the shady practices they use to get their drug products approved by the FDA.

He also speaks on how every aspect of the drug approval process is driven by marketing ploys and financial gain, not science and safety. He reiterates how the FDA is reliant upon funding from Big Pharma to operate and how they are authorizing drugs based on an archaic system of measure.
