Pharma Rep Turned Whistleblower Reveals the Shocking Truth About U.S. Healthcare - Brigham Buhler

The United States spends almost twice as much on healthcare compared to other developed nations. And in spite of all of the technologies, specialists, and medications we have available, The United States ranks dead last in terms of health outcomes. It’s clear that something isn’t working. The problem is, we don’t have a healthcare system; we have a sickcare system that profits off of the farming of sick people.
