How Big Pharma Avoids Billions in Taxes
In the following video, Motley Fool health care bureau chief Brenton Flynn discusses a recent Bloomberg article, which highlights the incredible benefits pharmaceutical companies enjoy through tax management strategies. Brenton tells investors who is profiting and by how much, and why other large-cap health care companies like UnitedHealth Group and Express Scripts are missing out.
