Confessions of a Drug Rep

If America ever expects to fix its broken healthcare system, all the problems must first be identified. Only then can a solution be engineered.

While Obama's plan certainly provides no real solution, the current system is clearly broken and needs a radical overhaul.

Perhaps you’ve been brainwashed by the talking heads, Washington liars and other hacks that have been paid off by the industry to make you think the healthcare system is just fine. If you already have not already figured it out, you can’t trust ANYTHING from the media, especially CNBC and FOX. 

Do I need to name names? Virtually everyone in the media, from the talking head neo-cons (Limbaugh, Hannity, Levine, Savage, etc.) to the clowns on televised networks and those they interview – fall into one of these categories: they're either lying or they're ignorant when it comes to healthcare. 

Either way, listening to their propaganda will only hurt you in the end. 

How can I make such a broad assumption?

You need to understand that the healthcare industry spends BILLIONS of dollars in ads and commercials in the media each year, so the media is going to focus on interviewing hacks who support their agenda.

Even Peter Schiff realizes that his brainwashed his sheep audience will blindly accept anything he says. When you have such a terrible track record, without facing any scrutiny for your blunder, it points to a significant part of the problem in America. The masses are largely unintelligent, impulsive beings, who anxiously await further brainwashing. This largely explains why America is pretty much finished.

As a manner by which to remain consistent with his extremist viewpoints, Schiff has also misrepresented the problems with healthcare. 

Before passing judgment on whether he’s simply clueless or he has hidden agendas, I’d like to see how much money the healthcare industry will contribute to his campaign. That should paint a pretty good picture.

And because he obviously lacks a full understanding of this very complex industry, he certainly has no real viable solutions. Yet, this has not stopped him from using his media club status to position himself as a healthcare expert, as he seeks a seat in the Senate. 

But Schiff's solution could be even more damaging than Obama's healthcare reform. 

Of course, I really shouldn’t even call it Obama’s reform, because he has basically let the various members of Congress (most of which who have been paid off by healthcare lobbyists) write the bill, without having any idea what’s in it. In fact, most of Congress has no idea what’s in the bill. Those who know best what’s in “Obama’s healthcare reform” should go to the authors – healthcare lobbyists.  

And then there’s Ron Paul, who thinks America’s derailed free market system is the best way to deliver healthcare. 

Paul is either clueless or else he does not have the backbone to challenge the most powerful lobbyist group in Washington (other than AIPAC). 

I’d like to know how much money Paul has received from the healthcare industry.

Instead of spending time researching or confirming what they read and hear by America’s propaganda machine, most Americans swallow what they have been fed by this very dangerous industry. 

Many of these liars claim America’s healthcare system is “great” and it’s “the best healthcare system in the world.” However, I have previous demonstrated how this is simply not true by any stretch of imagination.

As you can imagine, the list is quite long. Unfortunately, ObamaCare will do nothing to address America’s healthcare crisis.  In fact, it is very likely to make it much worse.

Most people don’t realize that the American Medical Association is actually part of the problem.

Let’s take a look at the front lines of drug makers - the drug reps; these are the guys and gals who get physicians to write as many prescriptions of their company’s drugs as possible.  

One might assume drug reps have at least a general science undergraduate degree. After all, many physicians rely on drug reps to educate them on the latest drug therapies and mechanisms of action. In reality, it is very rare for reps to have any science background prior to becoming a drug rep. Why might this be?   Perhaps Upton Sinclair said it best;

“It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his job depends on not understanding it.”

Drug reps need sales skills more than an understanding of science and medicine. Drug companies teach their reps only what they want them to know. This helps them become more passionate salesmen since they only learn the most favorable side of the picture.

If drug reps had a basic science background, they might be able to decipher biased research and realize the harmful effects of the drugs they pitch. That certainly wouldn’t contribute to sales.
