Dr. Val has been doing a great job interviewing our 17th US Surgeon General, Vice Admiral Richard H. Carmona, M.D (see here, here and here). But today, in regards to a question on Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM), I wondered what he was saying... (see the comments).
When one considers that the pharameutical industry has spent more money on marketing recently than R&D, and that those advertising costs are passed down to our patients in the cost of their medications, might removing direct-to-consumer advertising be a better way to lower healthcare costs to our system?
