0:00.0	There is a new book out there, all about how big pharma broke American health care and what the
0:07.0	heck we can do to repair it. It is the inside story of how big pharma's relentless pursuit of
0:15.1	ever higher profits corrupts our medical knowledge, misleading doctors, misdirecting American health care,
0:23.5	and ultimately harming individual health. The United States spends an excess $1.5 trillion

0:38.5	Yet, the amount of time that Americans live in good health ranks 68th in the world.

1:55.9	Likewise, for experts who write the clinical practice guidelines that define our standards of care.
2:02.6	We simply don't see what is truly happening.
2:07.1	The result of complex research and privileged access to the inner workings of the U.S. medical industrial complex,
2:17.0	sickening shines a light on the dark underbelly of
2:21.1	American health care and prevents a path towards genuine reform.
