Sobre IBD

For decades, pharmaceutical giants positioned themselves as guardians of public health. Behind the glossy ads and polished congressional testimonies, a very different reality simmered - one shaped by greed, political maneuvering, and catastrophic decisions that changed millions of lives. The Deal That Broke America uncovers the real stories behind the opioid epidemic and the corporate empires that fueled it, tracing the crisis from quiet boardrooms to devastated hometowns.Every chapter pulls back the curtain on a different moment when profits outweighed people: secret memos, falsified data, aggressive marketing campaigns, and back-door negotiations with regulators. Readers meet whistleblowers who risked everything, doctors caught in the crossfire, communities forced to navigate devastation, and executives who walked away with bonuses while the country burned.This is not a story of villains in lab coats - it’s a chronicle of the decisions, pressures, and cultural forces that collided to create one of the most devastating public health disasters in American history. Gritty, fast-paced, and deeply researched, The Deal That Broke America reveals how a system meant to save lives instead pushed an entire nation to the brink.
