Reaction to Big Pharm

The video is very informative. Some things that stuck out to me included the 'disease mongering', where they take everyday-normal conditions and turn them into medical problems, and how they take old pills that are losing their popularity, slap a new name on them, and sell them for way more money. In addition to that, they are given very expensive marketing campaigns which gains many uninformed consumers attention. It isn't fair since most consumers will not know about it without digging deep into the matter. The video inspires me to be careful when I get older about the types of medications I find myself under.
