What kind of drugs are you thinking of per-chance ??
AIDS suppression drugs maybe ??
Or malaria pills ??
Remember that a number of countries in Africa is really exposed to AIDS.
10 % percents of Ungandians is HIV positive and if they dont get access
to drugs at a fair price there economy will crash because well not
enough
people will produce enough cloth or for that thing enough FOOD !!
The current prices on AIDS medicines is obscene and nothing ELSE because
thoose who needs it the most can't pay the asking price.
It is capitalism at its worst !
