This article is about supplying poor countries. What about the poor here in America?
I don't have health insurance for my husband and I. We need to order his meds from India because it costs too much in the USA. He would die without them. I have diabetes and go to a low cost clinic which I can afford. If my husband goes to the clinic his meds are still out of reach because of cost.
Costs of medicine should be the same everywhere in the world! Companies should make a fair margin on all medicine that they sell so that they can keep investing to develope new products, however all of that profit should not come from a few countries, but be evenly split by all of those that want access. There are poor and rich in all countries. The governments of the rich countries need to step up and pass laws that a drug company cannot change more than a certain percentage more than they charge in any other country (I say this as they need to account for better government regulations that are required of the drug producer). What ever happen to fair and equal, get what you earn, instead of redistribution of everything!
How about poor people in the US with chronic illness who can't afford medicine and can't qualify for health insurance because of a pre exisitng condition? Oh that's right we don't have anyone like that. Just ask the Republicans they tell those people they just don't work hard enough!
I have no health insurance, so does this mean I'll have to buy my one $333.00 medication in a third world to continue eating or living?
My psoriatic arthritis meds run around twelve hundred dollars a month. When will the US see changes in drug pricing?
Tiered pricing with a global web means that we'll be buying drugs from poorer nations. Canadian pharmacies sell lots of US made drugs.
How about taxing the high profit margin pharmas? Our drug prices won't go up, they "charge what the market can bear".
here in omak wa if you have no insurance they charge you 5 bucks for meds at wallmart so wallmart is good not evil to hell with unions at wallmart lol

hey, now....that sounds like socialism to me
where's your love for the "free market"; in other words, the "freedom" for drug companies to charge whatever the hell they choose
...and sick people be damned
