Dr. Fraad analyzes how a for-profit healthcare system has led to the death and drug overdose epidemic in the U.S. She names the 5 forces that contribute to this and what we need to do to stop capitalism for the health of everyone.

"We have to stop capitalism particularly in health care, where it's literally killing people but also in its push for profit: outsourcing and dispossessing people to the point where they're hopeless and look for drugs to ease the pain." - Dr. Fraad
