This past week we learned of another person dying because they could not afford their insulin. Enough is enough. No person should have to die because they cannot afford essential medicines.
Save the date! PFAM is partnering with T1International and Public Citizen, to put on a demonstration prompting Eli Lilly, producer of Humalog insulin to answer the following asks...
Does the upcoming U.S. election matter to the cause of access to medicines?
The correct answer is “Yes, but . . .”
The answer is yes, because the U.S. President and members of Congress are enormously influential on access to medicines policy. Clearly, this is true in the U.S., with the prospect of potential changes in 2017 to Medicare drug pricing and discounts to governments on drugs discovered with taxpayer dollars.
