CHAPTER 4: INDUSTRY SEDUCES DOCTORS.
Chapter 4 of Butchered by "Healthcare."How could physicians have allowed this to happen? No doctor I know started with the idea of money above patients. We all wrote that essay in school about how we wanted to save the world. But we are now pawns of moneyed interests, and we often betray our patients’ trust. The best marketers on the planet are spending billions of dollars trying to get us to channel whatever resources we control towards their companies. We know this, yet we still connect with our patients, inspire their trust, and try to do our best. They are dependent on us, especially the sick ones, and this makes us responsible for all consequences.

CHAPTER 6: DRUGMAKERS GET AWAY WITH ANYTHING.
Chapter 6 of Butchered by "Healthcare." Pharmaceutical corporations violate more criminal laws than any industry in history, as measured by their criminal settlements. The top 22 drugmaker payoffs since 2004 have their own Wikipedia page of shame.Peter Rost, former Pfizer marketing vice president, compared the drugmakers to mobsters:It’s scary how many similarities there are between this industry and the mob… obscene amounts of money… killings and deaths… [bribing] politicians and others... The difference is, all these people in the drug industry look upon themselves… as law-abiding citizens... However, when they get together as a group and manage these corporations, something seems to happen… It's almost like when you have war atrocities; people do things they don't think they're capable of… because the group can validate what you're doing as okay. --The Whistleblower: Confessions of a Healthcare HitmanBy 2002, the top 10 drugmakers' profits equaled those of all the other 490 Fortune 500 companies together. Drug manufacturers, showered with federal and insurance money, have 20-25 percent net profit margins. Pfizer’s have been phenomenal: 51 percent in 2013, 43 percent in 2014, 40 percent in 2017, and 44 percent in 2018. Thriving industries which freely compete and are not state-supported average less than 10 percent net profit margins.In 2003, a law slid through Congress stipulating that Medicare, the world’s largest drug buyer, could no longer negotiate prices with corporations. The statute directed them to pay 106 percent of the companies’ average wholesale price. Although this seemed reasonable, it allowed corporations to price-fix. The Veteran's Administration, which was not part of the deal, now pays only about fifty percent of the Medicare rate for each medication. Even the notoriously wasteful US military bargains with competing defense contractors.

CHAPTER 5: BIG PHARMA PROLOGUE.
Chapter 5 of Butchered by "Healthcare."The US is a nation of pill poppers. According to Bloomberg, nearly half of us take prescription drugs. The Mayo Clinic (2013) puts this figure even higher, a whopping 70%, with 20% of Americans taking five or more (verified by the Centers for Disease Control in 2019). This is absurd and obviously damaging, but doctors do not get it. How could this have happened, and who is responsible?LINKS TO LEARN MORE:Listen to another podcast about my whole book Butchered by Healthcare at: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1300429/6572743I have an author website RobertYohoAuthor.com.

CHAPTER 7: “THE FDA PROTECTS THE BIG DRUG COMPANIES.”
Chapter 7 of Butchered by "Healthcare."Well over half of the FDA revenue is paid directly from the pharmaceutical companies in the form of "user fees". These are incurred during the drug approval process. If drugs aren't approved, the FDA might have to lay off employees. This is only one example of the problems. These and other conflicts of interest make the FDA's supervision of big Pharma unreliable.

CHAPTER 3: HOW HEALTHCARE WAS RUINED.
Chapter 3 of Butchered by "Healthcare"Healthcare costs started growing nearly exponentially when social support programs and private insurance fueled it in the 1960s. US costs are now $4 trillion (2020), almost a fifth of our gross domestic product (GDP), and twice what other developed countries are paying per capita. Our medical sector spends more than the total revenues of banking ($477 billion), oil and gas ($181 billion), and military ($600-800 billion). We spend more on healthcare than the next ten countries combined—more than France, Spain, China, Japan, Brazil, Germany, Italy, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. Wealthy Singapore pays only a mid-single-figure percent of its GDP, and many others spend about ten percent. Could the rest of the world be missing out? Are there advantages of more pills, surgeries, and doctor care? How is it even possible to spend this much money? Our academics know the answer: excess healthcare makes providers money but is a net harm for patients.LINKS TO LEARN MORE:Listen to another podcast about my whole book Butchered by Healthcare at: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1300429/6572743I have an author website RobertYohoAuthor.com.
