Medicine and Money Don't Mix

1 September 2010

Healthcare is ostensibly based on objective scientific research. But
who conducts and/or sponsors this research? All too often, it's the very
companies whose products are being studied, and thus have obvious
conflicts of interest. As a result, this "research" becomes little more
than a euphemism for advertising and marketing. As the shield between life
and death, healthcare should be based on science and mercy, not business
and commerce.
