Big Medicine has been doing its share of marketing unhealthy lifestyles and lately ideas too. I'd list examples but risk looking political rather than scientific. One must admit that science has become much more political as you have posited in other posts.
You make an important point. Many Americans a concerned that our institutions do not serve them well. The first mission of government is to protect the popuation. Too many times, big tobacco, big food, and big medcine prey on us. The first two make us sick for money. Big medicine refuses to change itself to produce better health at lower price. We CAN still learn and save ourselves.
