There has to be a way to discuss the problems with the US pharmaceutical industry and health care system at large without invalidating the experiences of real human beings. And these must be a way to talk about how medications are developed, marketed, and sold without alienating disabled people and disseminating misinformation about real-world issues that affect us. Every time ‘progressives’ who claim to care about disability issues and health care rant about big pharma without considering the populations they’re talking about, they show a lack of interest in educating themselves about the deeper issues here.
