CAFTA and meds on NPR

Was just listening to KQED, heard that tomorrow they'll be discussing the impact of the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) on pharmaceuticals in Latin America. From the clip they played as a preview, sounds like it'll be good.

CAFTA contains damaging intellectual property provisions which would prevent the use of generic drugs, even to fight the AIDS pandemic. This is a product of selfish lobbying by the pharmaceutical industry, and should not be allowed to become law.
