"Money Talks: Profits Before Patient Safety"
Watch this 50-minute documentary in its entirety below.
Written and co-directed by Kathleen Slattery-Moschkau
Your doctor hands you a box of free drug samples and tells you to take one pill twice a day. You nod and take the box from his hand. Later that night, you fill a glass of water, push the pill through the foil and bring it to your lips. But wait…
Money Talks exposes the questionable tactics that big drug companies use to make record profits by playing with the safety of your family's health care. Using misleading advertising, attractive "drug reps" who wine and dine doctors, skewed studies, and other unethical practices (like giving away boatloads of free samples), the drug industry makes billions of dollars every year selling us unsafe, unnecessary and overpriced drugs.
The story that comes together in this compelling and reasoned documentary is one that every doctor and patient in the country must see. These issues directly affect the safety and cost of our prescription drug supply--and they are the difference between a medication helping you or harming you.
When it comes to your health, there's only one person watching your back. You.
