welcome back don't make a continuing with our most censored stories big pharma imperiled billions of lives in developing countries by failing to manufacture 2 thirds of desperately needed drugs and it's no better in developed countries like ours despite a record number of f.d.a. approval for cheaper generic drugs pharma company greed has forced thousands of those the life saving drugs to just sit on the shelves for years unavailable to customers for more on this we go to our senior big pharma apologist now and again. i don't know why we keep you on payroll as our apologist but so so this is pretty obviously immense greed going on down now it's not green it's protecting intellectual property through some additional patents and i think it's only fair these generic drug makers jump through some legal hoops before they're allowed. to take someone else's idea and reap all of the benefits i mean can you imagine if black people could patent rock'n'roll. all right then elvis presley would have just been the white guy who plays acoustic guitar in parties. or worse the ukulele. and i need some

there are corporate gifts to the big pharma inc. u.s. mca in tene ten years of market exclusivity for biologics. though we currently have in the united states 12 years of exclusivity in the united states, this trade bill would have tied it congress's hands and prevented us from enacting legislation. from canada and mexico to get the lower-cost drugs this would have raised the cost across the hemisphere. on the first day of the negotiation i told the u.s. trade representative that the biological exclusivity provisions needed to be removed and now they are gone. the trump administration also tried to gift them with increased protection for secondary patterns and changing a little bit in order to get a new and extended pattern and that those provisions are gone. finally, the trump administration also tried to prioritized brand-name drugs. we've now revised provisions to ensure generic competition and to improve access and affordability to medicine for people across north america. on the committee and offices i want to thank congressman blum

so, you, every one of you have my personal commitment that in a gabbard administration, big pharma and big insurance will have no seats at the table as we form policies guaranteeing quality health care for every single american, that would allow those who, if you have great private insurance or if your employer offers one, if you choose to go down that route, you should have that choice. but for the single mom of four who i met earlier today just down the way at cookie's cafe, whose son is 25 years old and was born with severe disabilities, and who needs a lung transplant. he doesn't know if he can get it because they have to come up with $30,000. he's on medicare. he's on medicaid. they will cover just the cost of the surgery itself. but all the other things he needs around the surgery to make sure it it is successful, $35,000. so her boss, they have a donation can in the community to chip in, trying to get people together to make sure that this young man's life can be saved. but they don't know if they can raise it. i asked, do you have a gofundme page, because i would love to spread

the british drug maker, big pharma, making a play for asia with china and india being its two biggestt a time when both countries showing growth, the potential for the company... what we see in china is the extension of good healthcare programmes to much larger populations. we see government reaching out into more rural areas, more far government reaching out into more ruralareas, more faraway government reaching out into more rural areas, more far away from the major cities. that increases volumes and with that comes pricing of discussions that you could expect an use in many other countries. but all in all, i am very pleased with the way we are developing in china specifically. you mentioned pricing and if there has been a proliferation of generic drugs in the region. is this putting pressure on your pricing point in the region? i think on your pricing point in the region? ithink in on your pricing point in the region? i think in general, the way the pharmaceutical industry works is that we create and we are in the business of creating innovative drugs and they are under patent for

capitalism what advice would you give to them i mean say someone's out there trying to take on a big pharma there's going to be a lot of pressure although i think there's always going to be big pressure when you start going up against corporations or individuals that have a lot of money and have a lot of lawyers i think the you shouldn't let that stop you i think you should let your passion kind of drive you forward i think that you should definitely consult with some good lawyers you know there's what i tell the young filmmakers all the time is that a good lawyer will keep you out of trouble but a great lawyer will help you cause it will inspire look thank you thank you have a great day that's it for the show will be back on wednesday with the season finale 47 years to the day of richard nixon's christmas bombing vietnam which together with us violence now it's i'm trying both would help to kill approximately 6000000 people mostly civilians until then people touched by social media don't forget to subscribe to egypt. the world is driven by a dream. the day there's thinks. we dared to ask.

well, we're not talking about big pharma here. we're talking about small little startups, american entrepreneurs, if you think about silicon valley and the high-tech world, this is the equivalent in the biotech world. these are individuals that have an idea and a big brain and they're coming together to come up with a cure to these diseases like s.m.a. and alzheimer's and sickle cell apeople in yarks things like that -- anemia, things like that, things that we all struggle with in our communities. our fear on this side of the aisle as republicans is we know based on the facts and the independent analysis of our congressional budget office, based on the council of economic advisors, based on the input of the very people who are in the trenches every day in these laboratories across america, where 2/3 of the world's innovation comes from in this pace, that h.r. 3 will reduce, significantly reduce new cures coming to market. now, we're all for lowering drug prices. i think we'd have a unanimous vote on the provisions in our alternati

the generics are going to compete with big pharma. you've got something here.nd we all know without nancy pelosi and the way she handled this, this wouldn't have gotten done. so i think it's a terrific strategy. she protects, you know, her moderates, she'll keep control. and we already see the right wing attacking it over in the senate. it's going to cause mitch mcconnell, you know, a lot of acid-producing luncheons. >> it is true i will say that mitch mcconnell had very like tepid -- did he see his quote today it's not as good as i thought it would be and we're going to take a recess? what do you think, sam, on the strategy of this about whether this makes sense or not? >> well, i think the deal is a decent deal. it's a marginal improvement over nafta. but when richard is used in ad i think that's going to make a big difference and not in favor of democrats. i mean, this -- the 2018 election was so huge for the democrats to win was won on negative partisanship. people were coming out to vote against donald trump. so you had an election where you had plus-8 dem

tariffs, increased access to a dairy market for american farmers and taking up exclusivity for big pharmaed consumer prices for everyone. so there are legitimate things democrats can say they won concessions on. but the broader question to my mind is can you imagine republicans in the hillary clinton administration impeaching hillary clinton and also on the same day saying they're going to vote for a big trade deal hillary clinton negotiated? does this make sense to do at this moment substantively, politically? we're going to debate that question next. tically? we're going to debate that question next.

military industrial complex party and it's the wall street party and it's the health insurance and big pharma party they own both parties the democrats helped fast track some more trump's judges truncate 700000 people off of food stamps they also gave trump increase spine powers so this guy who was supposed to be working for the russian government and is a traitor to our country they read they gave him more spying powers which so he could use to then spy on his own enemies so that tells you right there that the democrats don't think drone is working for the russians or is a traitor to our country or that russia gate is even real that shows you right there that that's a phony issue so that's why all this is happening it's happening because of the corruption inside the democratic party the democratic party can't can't oppose trumps wall street deregulation because the democrats helped him do it the democrats can oppose trump on.

big pharma and big insurance who are extorting the sick during their most urgent time of need to bulk up their profits and take more bags of money to the banks and actually work to bring about real reforms that will ensure every single american guaranteed access to quality healthcare regardless of where you work or where you live or how much or how little you have in your pocket, the most wealthy and strongest nation in the world, this is something we can and must accomplish together. i look forward to tackling climate change. the environmental threats we face in this country and around the world are threats that don't just affect democrats or republicans or people of one group or another. we have too many people in this country who don't have clean water to drink, who can't trust they are not being poisoned by water coming out of their tap, clean air, making sure preserving these beautiful places we get to call home not just for us for generations to come. climate change has become so polarizing when if you take those words away and just focus on the impacts and effects and realize t
