They didn't mention the fact that in most countries for most medications people just don't take meds as they should. We see this for meds that are crucial to keep the person alive. Many organ transplants fail because the person fails to take meds correctly afterwards. We see this where patients need to pay for their meds and further treatment (the US) or where they get free meds and further treatment (the UK). This isn't a few percent of people who take meds. It's over a third of them, maybe about half of them. It's a big problem.
