Episode notes

Pharma companies heavily influence US politics and TV news through lobbying and spending, with a Danish company being one of the top lobbyists and spenders. The majority of profits for a valuable company like Louis Vuitton come from the United States due to different healthcare practices from Europe, where its products are not considered standard care. In Europe, products like drugs are not easily available and can be paid out of pocket.
