Big Pharma

A Gallup Poll conducted in August 2019 found that 58% of Americans held negative views of the pharmaceutical industry, while only 27% held positive views. This sentiment is driven by concerns about the cost, safety, and effectiveness of medications, as well as the influence of the pharmaceutical industry on healthcare providers and policymakers.
