A 2000 study by Dr. Barbara Starfield in the Journal of the American Medical Association is cited, claiming the U.S. medical system kills 225,000 people annually.

John Rapoport discusses the toxicity of the medical-pharmaceutical cartel, citing a study by Dr. Barbara Starfield published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
