Subscription Sickness? Today, sickness is being sold as subscription service. Just like you pay for your mobile phone or TV cable, medications are being marketed to us for use for the rest of our lives. Dr. Braile explores the concept of marketing sickness as a subscription service, and what we can do about it.

Paying a monthly fee for a service like you TV cable or cell phone is the most profitable business model today. Drug companies know this and are now selling their drug in the same manner. Drugs are being marketed not to cure you of a health issue, but to convince you that you will need their product forever. In this episode of Health Rants Dr. Braile explores this subscription sickness approach and what you can do to avoid it.
