Many people die in third world countries because of Aids etc.They can not buy expensive drugs and drug companies do not want to sell drugs cheaper.What is solution?
I heard that 3 world countries dont give the supplies to its people that other countries give.Other countries been given money since the 30"s and 40"s and 50"s and60"s and70"sand80"sand90"sand2000"s weres it going?
I seen it on T.V years ago, a part of Africa had people starving and they were trying to get to the food that other countries gave and armed guards were stopping them from getting to the food .
That kind of thing happens all the time - remember Somalia? There was plenty of aid going, but the factions were trying to starve each other out. It is a very common practice during strife. And Africa has always ben full of wars.

gore vidal has always adovcated that corporate america was the ruin of the clintons due to the free health care system they wanted to implement which the big drug companies lobied against and prevented from happening
On TV, this one man who owns a pharmacist somewhere in Mexico was giving free HIV meds to people who had no way of paying for them.
These meds were coming in from all over the country. Most of the meds were donated. Other meds only had a day or two before they expired. The cameras showed his storage room. It was very impressive. To bad it’s not like this all over the world.
Of course drug companies don't want to sell drugs cheaper. That's why they tried to make it illegal for people to purchase their drugs from Canada. They were loosing their captive audience. Do you know that people on chemo may need shots to keep their blood count up. One shot cost $3500. What the hell is that?
Aren't these countries now making their own generic drugs? So much cheaper than we in the western world get them? Hasn't the western world given so much money to the third world countries that they should all have a good standard of living, corruption there is a way of life, let them get their own houses in order first before laying blame elsewhere
