No one in America, or anywhere in the world, should die or suffer unnecessarily because they cannot afford a prescription drug which, in many cases, costs a few cents or a few dollars to manufacture.
There are a number of reasons why this tragic reality continues to happen. First, too often drug companies abuse patent monopolies to charge outrageous prices or otherwise keep lifesaving drugs out of reach for people around the world.
In the US and other developed countries, access to essential medicines is a person's right. In developing countries, we need to make sure that the access to medicines is also a right, not a privilege for those who can afford it.
