THE IMPACT

While on the surface it may appear that the largesse of Big Pharma is based in nothing more than a desire to be good corporate citizens, the reality is much more sinister.

Establishment nonprofit organizations like the American Cancer Society and Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation exercise an enormous influence over opinion leaders both inside and outside official circles. This is in part due to the perception that they have no financial stake in established cancer treatments and pharmaceuticals. This perception is false. But that doesn't diminish their influence.

In myriad ways, large and small, the cancer establishment's nonprofit sector exercises an enormous influence over legislation before Congress. They are listened to on issues of treatment, research funding and prevention - all because legislators believe they have no vested financial interest.
