Whew Boy. The Dallas Buyer's Club. Slate's talking Matthew McConaughey Oscar bait, while Slant knows - having been here before - that can only mean one thing:

"One could argue that the AMA and Big Pharma, with their endless pockets and insurmountable lobbying power, have fought their battle against natural medicine, chiropractors, and any other voices of marginal dissent so unfairly for so long that the most effective response is necessarily one-sided.
