Big Industry monopoly of power
Harvard study reveals that the Big Pharma monopoly is FDA approved Sept. 13, 2017, The study says that the reason why drug prices in the U.S. are the highest among the developed countries is that of the state-supported drug monopolies setting the prices as high as they want. The study conducted by the Harvard Medical School reveals some results that are uncomfortable for many. After analyzing medical policy literature of the past 10 years, the researchers concluded that the drug prices in the U.S. are the highest among the 19 most developed countries. They say that these uneasy numbers can be explained by the U.S. government reinforcing the monopolies of the big pharmaceuticals in the country, that suppresses the competition and allows for drug prices to reach unaffordable levels.
ABC news cites an example of a common prescription drug such as a steroid inhaler for asthma patients that costs more than $300 per month in the U.S. while it is available for only $35 a month in France. In addition to that, the prices for insulin drugs are 8 times higher in the U.S. This price difference is particularly shocking as last year's study published in the same Journal of American Medical Association revealed that over 50% of American adults have diabetes or are in a pre-diabetic state caused by obesity. Forbes reported that in 2017, diabetes-related costs in the U.S. reached an estimated $245 billion. And these are just some examples of the drastic price differences of the exact same drugs marketed in America compared to other countries. The list goes on and on.

Tell me, why would anybody take these pills? It can only be that they don’t know the truth about them. I know on the platform that I have I’ll be informing everyone. These enormous companies are playing with people’s lives. I just wonder how many people die each year because of taking these pills and their side effects.
