If you really want to learn more, read the book Bottle of Lies. It’s about the generic drug market and how the FDA can’t really inspect the facilities in India and China and how they’ve been proven to cheat the system and deliver subpar drugs. It’s really eye opening.
It’s also a major reason we’re creating antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria and viruses. It’s especially worrisome when you figure that out entire healthcare system is based of the production of cheap generic drugs.
Compare the price of brand name and generic drugs and it’s astounding the difference in price. I tested this not too long ago and WITH insurance my prescription was $340 name brand, less than $5 generic.

I am reading that book now,it’s scary.It infuriates me that drug company executives are so greedy and that our country lets this situation continue.I believe in capitalism but this is too much.What I don’t understand is how drug company executives have so little concern for not only their fellow citizens but for their own family and friends.Surely,their relatives and friends get sick and take medications.It seems they would want them to have safe,effective medications.
