In Drugs, Money and Secret Handshakes, Robin Feldman shines a light into the dark corners of the pharmaceutical industry to expose a web of shadowy deals in which higher-priced drugs receive favorable treatment and patients are channeled toward the most expensive medicines. At the center of this web are the highly secretive middle players who establish coverage levels for patients and negotiate with drug companies. By offering lucrative payments to these middle players (as well as to doctors and hospitals), drug companies ensure that inexpensive drugs never gain traction. This system of perverse incentives has delivered the kind of exorbitant drug prices-and profits-that everyone loves except for those who pay the bills. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Physical fitness|xHealth aspects. 700 1 Kaye, Randye.|4nrt 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 12464027?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ ttm_9781630159986_180.jpeg
