Sen. Sanders:End Rx AIDS Monopoly
&feature=uploademailSenator Sanders: End HIV/AIDS Drug Monopolies

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) today called for eliminating legal monopolies that make HIV/AIDS medicine so expensive in the United States that many patients cannot afford treatment and die.
“The U.S. has – by far – the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs,” Sanders said. “The simple fact is that the prices of patent medicines are a significant barrier to access to health for millions of uninsured and underinsured Americans and people die because of it,” he added in his opening statement at a Senate Subcommittee on Primary Health and Aging that he chaired.
