Do you feel like they are good guys or just trying to make a buck, making people dependent on not needed medicine? I feel like the 2nd thing is true for the most part. I favor natural and holistic approaches to health.

It depends on how well they treat their employees and pay them, giving benefits, vacation pay, personal time off etc. Wal-Mart shits on their employees; we see it in the media all of the time. Wal-Mart's infamous for a lot of the things that they do especially for immorally firing people who are special needs. They're infamous for their hourly cuts. They fire employees for invalid reasons just so they don't have to give them benefits. They get volumes of lawsuits filed against them. When the lawsuits are that bad, that means there's a major problem. There's a lot of evidence and people who have had horrible experiences with them that's accumulated over the years that indicates corporate greed.

Walmart gets sued nearly 20 times a day, close to 5,000 lawsuits each year. Many of these lawsuits have been brought by Walmart's employees, bringing employment discrimination and wage and hour claims, mostly involving overtime. Our law firm handles only serious injury and wrongful death personal injury cases.

making people dependent on not needed medicine?

As far as being used as illegal narcotics? Sure. Some pharmaceuticals are necessary when you have a doctor's prescription and considered a controlled substance when you're carrying it around illegally.

You're gonna have people out there that get addicted to pharmaceuticals like pain pills that no longer need them. Doctors try to prescribe them a limited amount before cutting them off so that doesn't happen. Sad to say that it does happen.

Addiction is a real problem and one that doesn't have many solutions. I wish it did. But wishing isn't going to solve the problem.

I'm into holistic health. Doctors don't get paid for us to be well. They get paid for us to be sick & to get tests done on expensive equipment. They also tend to get kickbacks from pushing certain meds whether it's needed or not. The majority don't know anything about nutrition or exercise.
I'm not against doctors, but they are my last resort.
 
As a Christian, I can't be hungup on conspiracy theories. I'm sure evil is out there, but are people really doing their part spiritually to mend off the evil?
