JUST VIEWS will be screening Big Pharma: Market Failure followed by a discussion and Q&A.

Big Pharma: Market Failure explores the problem of extreme drug prices in the US and how drug cost impacts on the public, on businesses and the overall US economy. It digs deep to answer key questions. How much do pharma companies really spend on research and development of truly innovative drugs? Do "free market" principles impact on drug prices and help control cost? Do the normal rules of business apply to the pharma industry? How do TV ads impact consumers and doctors? Big Pharma: Market Failure proposes a solution that makes business sense for employers and health sense for employees. It is a compelling drama that reveals the truth of pharma cost and what we can do about it.

Healthcare professionals and members of Illinois Single-Payer Coalition, Shannon Rotolo and Jordan Centers, will join us afterwards for discussion and questions & answers. Shannon is a specialty pharmacist at the University of Chicago working with patients needing high-cost, complex medications. Jordan is a mental health nurse serving those on the state’s managed Medicaid program.
