Doctors Without Borders Had Openly Opposed This Bill Before Being Bombed by Pentagon
In recent months, before the charitable medical organization Doctors Without Borders was in the news for having one of its clinics bombed in Afghanistan, reports noted that the group was opposed to the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), a massive 12-nation “free trade” treaty that is on the cusp of finally being approved by all parties.
The trade pact, which involves the U.S., Japan and 10 other Pacific Rim countries, is high on President Obama’s final term “to-do list,” as his administration has been negotiating it for the past five years.
As Natural News has previously reported, we are opposed to the deal because: 1) it would likely ban GMO labeling laws in the U.S. and 11 other countries; and 2) it would permit the marketing of dangerous Big Pharma drugs to Americans . . .
Doctors Without Borders says it opposed the TPP because it will make the import and export of cheaper generic medications nearly impossible, feeding Big Pharma and thereby raising the cost of care for millions of people.
“But right now the U.S. government is advocating for trade terms with eleven other Pacific Rim nations that could restrict access to generic medicines, making life-saving treatments unaffordable to millions,” the group says on its website.
