There is no such thing as a free lunch, but there are a lot of people out there who believe there is such a thing as free medicine. The case they make is that Big Pharma in the United States makes a lot of money.
It is true that there are a lot of problems with Big Pharma; there are drugs that are marketed as though they are amazing for people but aren’t, the most obvious example being OxyContin. But it is also true that every single drug you take was developed by Big Pharma. Every single medicine you take was developed by Big Pharma. Big Pharma is responsible for OxyContin — but they’re also responsible for Advil.
