The United States spends on excess $1.5 trillion annually on health care compared to other wealthy countries-yet the amount of time that Americans live in good health ranks a lowly sixty-eighth in the world. At the heart of the problem is Big Pharma, which funds most clinical trials and therefore controls the research agenda, withholds the real data from those trials as corporate secrets, and shapes most of the information-relied upon by health-care professionals. In this no-holds-barred expose. Dr. John Abramson-one of the foremost experts on the drug industry's deceptive tactics-combines patient stories with what he learned during many years of serving as on expert in national drug litigation to reveal the tangled web of financial interests at the heart of the dysfunction in our health-care system. Sickening shines a light on the dark underbelly of American health care-and presents a path toward genuine reform.
