Our drug prices are out of reach of the people who need them, even in our own country, but especially around the world. People — many of them children — die of preventable diseases every day because we in the West, who have 90% of the world’s wealth, aren’t willing to donate a tiny percentage of it to bring down drug costs and keep people alive. We are too interested in our wealth and our bottom line.
This was very sobering and thought provoking.
