A Critical Look At America’s Pharmaceutical Industry

Former New England Journal of Medicine Editor and M.D. Marcia Angell joins Guest Host Patt Morrison to discuss her new book, The Truth About Drug Companies: How They Deceive Us and What to Do About It. Angell would like to see many changes in the drug industry, including a wish to see the FDA reform how it approves new drugs. Dr. Angell would also like to see a national, and public, registry for all clinical trials for new drugs. Joining the conversation also is Jack Calfee, economist and resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute.
