Abstract:

Chapel Hill resident David Jones recently testified before the U.S. Congress on the unethical practices in the pharmaceutical industry. Jones recounts stories from his career in the industry on how pharmaceutical companies boost profits through false demand and manipulate the market. These practices harm the consumer. Frustrated, Jones is now a lobbyist and has worked in NC politics on behalf of the consumer helping specifically with anti-discrimination legislation and privacy regulations for AIDS victims.
