The United States have spent far more money on the health care than any other countries. At 17.1% of their gross domestic product on health care, the United States devoted at least 50 percent more of its economy to health care than do other countries (Squires &Anderson, 2015).

If direct-to-consumer advertising was illegal, the money saved on advertising costs might lower the costs for drugs. This current practice uses patients as a means to reach the company’s…
