We currently spend $600 billion a year on prescription drugs worldwide
with $250 billion in the US alone.
By conservative estimates over 100,000 people in the United States die from the side effects of drugs each year. Drugs also account for 2.2 million serious injuries per year in the United States, and 5 percent of all hospital admissions are due to a serious drug reaction.
