Sanders Backs California Ballot Initiative to Rein in Drug Prices at Meeting with HIV/AIDS Advocates
May 25, 2016
Twitter Facebook Email Link
SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. – U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders on Wednesday met with national HIV/AIDS advocates to discuss the epidemic and his support for a California ballot initiative to lower prices for taxpayer-supported AIDS treatments.
“Let me thank you for the work you do,” Sanders said at the conclusion of the meeting. “The issues you have raised are enormously important and effect millions of people in this country and more around the world.
“I look forward to continuing to work with you,” the senator added at the meeting hosted by Danny Glover, the activist and actor.
The ballot proposition Sanders supports – the California Drug Price Relief Act – is supported by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation and National Nurses United, both headquartered in Oakland, California. The measure would prohibit the state from paying more for a prescription drug than the lowest price paid for the same drug by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. It would make sure that state taxpayers will no longer be ripped off by pharmaceutical companies that charge exorbitant prices for AIDS treatments and other prescription drugs. “We think it’s a great start and we applaud the people of California for standing up to the pharmaceutical industry,” Sanders said afterward.
Sanders’ proposal to provide Medicare-for-all universal health care would also benefit the 1.2 million Americans with HIV/AIDS.
At the meeting, Sanders noted that he has introduced a plan to lower costs for HIV/AIDS drugs. His measure would establish a prize fund to provide incentives for drug makers to develop new treatments. Unlike the current system that lets drug makers charge the highest prices in the world for medicine sold in the United States, medical breakthroughs made under the prize fund system would make the new drugs available to the public at affordable prices.
Sanders also agreed to set a national goal of ending the HIV epidemic in the U.S. by the year 2025 so that HIV is no longer a public health threat to any community in the U.S. and that people with HIV are able to live long, healthy lives.
Sanders also has called for expansion of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS program which provides HIV-related services. The senator also promised to push for stronger civil rights protections for people living with the disease.

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton spoke in Las Vegas on Thursday, mounting a fierce attack against Donald Trump and calling the GOP candidate and billionaire businessman an “urgent threat to our rights.”
Clinton’s speech was delivered at the United Food & Commercial Workers International Union conference at The Mirage. Her visit came as Trump amassed enough delegates to clinch the GOP presidential nomination.......................
The union represents 1.3 million people who work industries such as grocery stores, retail shops and food processing across the nation. The organization endorsed Clinton in January 2016.....................
Specifically, Clinton blasted Trump for signing a contract with a “union-busting” firm and discouraging efforts to unionize at Trump International in Las Vegas. She complimented those workers for organizing, which they have done through the Culinary Union.
“I was proud to join those workers on the picket line last fall,” Clinton said, adding that the right to organize and have collective bargaining must be protected......................

By Daniel Strauss

A recanvass of the Kentucky Democratic primary results confirmed that Hillary Clinton is the winner of the contest, Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes announced on Thursday.
"The unofficial winner of Kentucky's Democratic presidential primary remains Hillary Clinton," Grimes said at a press conference on Thursday. "The recanvass vote totals which were submitted to my office today will become the official vote totals. The Kentucky Board of Elections will certify on May 31st.".........................................
The recanvass results found that Clinton still was ahead of Sanders, this time by 1911 votes, Grimes said.
"The 13-vote difference is a result of two counties' absentee vote totals being reported, as well as provisional ballots in two counties being reported," Grimes said.
The recanvass findings by Grimes followed Sen. Bernie Sanders' campaign's call for a review of the May 17 election results.
