00:24Industry lobbyists call these settlements litigation piece, but they are actually calculated consumer heists.
00:31The government allows these deals even though they cost ordinary families billions annually.
00:37Generic manufacturers often make more money by staying home than by producing affordable medicine.
00:43While you choose between groceries and survival, they use your monthly premiums for silence.
00:49Your local pharmacy shelves are curated by backroom deals that prioritize high-margin brand names.
00:56Patent laws were originally designed for innovation but now function as permanent tollbooths.
