Why is Lady Gaga Doing Medication Commercials?
Healthcare in this country is so inhumane for a multitude of reasons.
Just the other day, I had the TV on in the background and there was a particular commercial that happened to catch my attention. There was a familiar face at the center of it, who just so happened to be Lady Gaga. And what was the commercial for?
Medication.
In the commercial, the pop star says:
“I know what it’s like to perform through pain. If you’re like me, one of the millions suffering from pain caused by migraine, Nurtec ODT may help. It’s the only medication that can treat a migraine when it strikes and prevent migraine attacks. Treat and prevent all-in-one…”
I think we’ve grown so accustomed to this kind of thing, we’re numb to just how utterly absurd it is.
Why are celebrities advertising medication?
Why are there even commercials for medications in the first place?
It’s the perfect embodiment of so much of what’s wrong here in the United States. The commodification of healthcare…
