Join us as we read and discuss Dr. John Abramson’s book, “Sickening: How Big Pharma Broke American Health Care and How We Can Repair It”.

The United States spends an excess $1.5 trillion annually on health care compared to other wealthy countries—yet the amount of time that Americans live in good health ranks a lowly 68th in the world. At the heart of the problem is Big Pharma, which funds most clinical trials and therefore controls the research agenda, withholds the real data from those trials as corporate secrets, and shapes most of the information relied upon by health care professionals.

The result of years of research and privileged access to the inner workings of the U.S. medical-industrial complex, Sickening shines a light on the dark underbelly of American health care—and presents a path toward genuine reform.

We will discuss the book over four sessions, which will occur every other week starting on February 9. KBGH members receive a free book with sign up.
