Hostile Takeover...Prescription Drugs

Chapter 7 of Sirota's Hostile Takeover is about Prescription Drugs.

No one wants to put the pharmaceutical industry out of business. Drug companies play an important role in the world's health care system. But in recent years, their quest for profits has led these companies to player a more destructive role in preventing medicenes from getting to the people who need them. That is why our government must step in and make sure the drug industry's profit motive stops drowning out every other societal need. Drug companies should be able to make healthy profits, but there is a difference between healthy profits and unhealthy profiteering. And the latter is particularly unacceptable when it means that people are denied the medicines they need.

Eli Lilly 3Q 10% profit rise is nearly all from psyche drugs including zyprexa.

How have they schemed to squeeze more money from their zyprexa cash cow when pill production has actually gone down?

ANS-Eli Lilly profiteers have jacked up the price of zyprexa to the federal govt,from the Medicare D payouts.

Eli Lilly is a big drug company that puts profits over patients.

They covered up findings that their Zyprexa has a TEN times greater risk of causing type 2 diabetes

Only 9% of Americans trust big pharma,right around the same rating as tobacco companies.
