In this groundbreaking work, Robin Feldman and Evan Frondorf illuminate the inner workings of the pharmaceutical market and show how drug companies twist health policy to achieve goals contrary to the public interest. In highly engaging prose, they offer specific examples of how generic competition has been stifled for years, with costs climbing into the billions and everyday consumers paying the price. Drug Wars is a guide to the current landscape, a roadmap for reform, and a warning of what is to come. It should be read by policymakers, academics, patients, and anyone else concerned with the soaring costs of prescription drugs.  aPharmaceutical industry  aDrugs--Prices  aDrugs--Law and legislation  aGeneric drugs  aPharmaceutical policy  aUnited States  2ddccBK  00104070aNASSDOCbNASSDOCd2021-04-13eOverseas Press India Private Limitedg1778.19i2021-03-08l0o338.476151 FEL-Dp51501r2021-04-13 00:00:00v2504.50w2021-04-13yBK
