After reading this article earlier this afternoon I was going to post about this in connection with the TPPA free trade deal where Big Pharma want's access to NZ's (and other countries) prescription medication distribution - (currently controlled centrally by govt. here) This would be one of the reasons why the drug corporations are pushing for the deal - to hike up prices! Didn't get time to post earlier then lo and behold it's a feature story on tv news here tonight with Hilary Clinton wading in saying she will stop such massive increases. Will be interesting to see if anything really changes as this guy is only one of many companies that have bought up rights to low priced older medications and ramped the prices sky high.
