Unhealthy health care: America's medical system is riddled with critical failures, and big drug companies and policy makers are responsible. Insurance fraud and false medical billing cost billions of tax and public dollars - and a number of lives.
"It is horrific and unprecedented, in the amount of unnecessary treatments to maximize dollars without consideration of the human beings that he was abusing."
—Paul D. Borman, U.S. District Judge sentencing a Michigan oncologist, 2015
Society Versus Profits: Oil, chemical and big food companies are killing our country, and our government is unable to stop them. Pharmaceuticals that are supposed to cure are marketed only to make profits for drug companies.
"Rogue internet pharmacies continue to pose a serious threat to the health and safety of Americans. Simply put, a few unethical physicians and pharmacists have become drug suppliers to a nation."
—U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein
Banks Run for Personal Gain: Profit-obsessed people run financial institutions, without proper regulation, breeding scandals, bringing down entire financial markets and destroying the livelihoods of millions of people.
"If crimes are committed they are committed by people, they are not committed by some free-floating entity. These companies and other entities don't operate on automatic pilot."
—Jed S. Rakoff, U.S. District Judge commenting on SEC settlements
Climate Change Denied: Many energy companies lobby politicians who claim there is no climate change due to fossil fuels or gas emissions. Scientists tell us we are close to losing all land ice on the planet.
"The time to find global solutions is running out …. There is therefore a clear, definite and urgent ethical imperative to act."
—Pope Francis, 266th Pope of the Roman Catholic Church
Politics is Money: Our U.S. Supreme Court in Citizens United and follow-up cases, has allowed the millionaires to give as much money as they want to elect politicians who keep the public from participating.
"Where enough money calls the tune, the general public will not be heard... And a cynical public can lose interest in political participation altogether."
—Justice Stephen Breyer, U.S. Supreme Court from his dissenting opinion in McCutcheon v. FEC
The list goes on and on. The author, one of the most honored lawyers in the United States, warns of the dangers confronting American society and identifies many of the villains and entities responsible.
A relentless advocate for the underprivileged and for victims of a society now moving into the hands of unscrupulous powers. As Martin Luther King, Jr. said: "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."
