Watching broadcast TV, it seems like practically every commercial break includes a long drug ad. Advertising increases drug sales. Yet, "there has been no evidence that Americans are getting better medical treatment as a result of targeted drug advertisements."

"Globally, every country except the US and New Zealand has outlawed drug ads targeted to consumers."
