“Do no harm.” The simple, ethical commitment doctors have been making for generations can fade with time—or heavy-handed persuasion. But thanks to a handful of seasoned doctors and a current wave of young medical professionals who have witnessed the damaging impacts of Big Pharma on patients across the country, there may be a cure for the drug industry’s stranglehold on health care in America. WHITE COAT REBELS follows the grassroots efforts of medical students nationwide, led by UCLA’s Neda Ashtari and Case Western Reserve University’s Gloria Tavera, and their fight to make essential medications affordable for all. With persistent drug reps bombarding doctors’ offices, incessant advertising for prescription drugs to the public, and powerful control over research studies, doctors at every level of medicine reveal how pharmaceutical companies have infiltrated every facet of today’s health care system. Now, in the face of a devastating opioid crisis and lingering pandemic, these health care providers implore audiences to join the movement to advocate and vote for fair access to life-saving medicine. —A.B.
