Whenever I visit the US I find it insane how much advertising for drugs is shown on TV, with the usual "ask your doctor about..." disclaimer at the end.

Why aren't more American's up in arms about this?

Only two countries allow direct-to-consumer prescription drug advertising -- New Zealand and the USA.
