Drug Companies


I am not sure how many in US have noticed this. The advertisments in the TV channels are flooded with ads for one or the other kind of disease. Right from simple cold and flu to arthitis and what not. On an average, out of every 5 ads, atleast 3 are from pharmaceutical companies. I have a pretty bad feeling about this. Despite their claim about better health, somehow I feel people are goaded into buying the medicines they might not actually need. Further more, the sheer power of these companies is frightening. They seem to control media, government, public opinion, hospitals, doctors and ofcourse the availability of medication. If I am not wrong the cost of healthcare has been only rising despite efforts into new technology and better medicines. I sincerely feel, the American public as a whole are being swindled little by little.
