Money Talks exposes the questionable tactics that big drug companies use to make record profits by playing with the safety of our family's health care. Using misleading advertising, attractive "drug reps" who wine and dine doctors and other unethical practices, the drug industry makes billions of dollars every year selling us unsafe, unnecessary and overpriced drugs. If you want to protect the people you love from their dangerous practices that compromise the safety and quality of our health care, Money Talks is a must-see film.

brilliant doc. Thanks scott!
there's a reason why there's the FDA, and frankly i think this film sounds like a load of BS.
you wanna talk about dangerous, there's homeopathy and herbal supplements which convince people to forego normal treatments that have been proven to work, and conform to FDA standards, with snake oil-esq potions that skirt aroung the FDA's regulations by making vague claims like "supports the immune system".
Sometimes when I see comments full of what might just be intentional errors, like the one posted on August 23, 2009 8:52 PM, I think about the corporate influence on Wikipedia and wonder...
"Is there a chance that somebody might pay somebody else to go around the internet and post comments ridiculing... oh I don't know... documentaries for instance?"
Not that I don't also see homeopathy et al. as considerable nuisances, but alternative medicine doesn't have hundreds of billions of dollars behind it.
That said, excellent film. Every doctor I know will be seeing this.
Good film - nothing new however. I have had a lot of contact over 30 years with people who have 'suffered' at the hands of medical systems through bad medical advice, adverse drug reactions, poor surgery, etc. I do still accept that modern medicine has a lot to offer, it just should not be blindly accepted that it is incorruptable and perfect. We cannot think that pharmaceutical companies always work for our good above their own bottom lines. Aren't we in a financial crisis where many banks were 'doing good' by helping people with their dream of an own home. Also, I do get tired of the people whose response to issues raised by such films is to run down something else (in this case alternative medicine). Deal with the issues raised in the film, as my guess is the comments about alternative medicine come from ignorance and believing hearsay or what modern medicine proponents (including drug companies)say (to protect their own patch). Many alternative therapies have a longer successsful history than modern medicine e.g. ayurveda, chinese herbal, acupuncture.
Yes dr.know, such things happen all the time. Paid-for commenting and false grass roots movements are so common that we have a name for it: astroturfing.
