Activism against Big Pharma. #EndBigPharma

Lately we have been trying to gather people in the community to help spread awareness about corruption between the pharmaceutical industry and the United States government. The kinds of injustices we are trying to spread awareness about are dramatic price hikes for life-saving drugs, the bribing of high-ranking government officials, and the lobbying against the legalization of medical marijuana and other life-saving drugs such as affordable generic AIDS medication in the United States. These companies' actions are greedy, cruel, and absolutely disgusting and disrespectful to the American people. Here are some unfortunate facts about the corruption of pharmaceutical companies (and the politicians that are involved): - Pfizer, the largest pharmaceutical company in the world, was involved in a bribery scandal in 2012 where it was revealed that they had been bribing various leading politicians in eight different countries, as well as various American politicians, but they had later stated that they had a policy forbidding bribery (presumably to cover up the damages they had done and to make it seem like they had done nothing wrong). They could possibly be still bribing politicians in secret. - The Clinton Foundation, a (supposedly) non-profit corporation run by Bill Clinton and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, had taken bribes from various pharmaceutical companies (including Pfizer) to push for legislation to keep the prices of AIDS medicine high. - Mylah NV, although it is a smaller company, is the manufacturer of EpiPens (epinephrine injectors) that have saved countless lives of people with serious allergies. In 2011, the price of a single EpiPen shot was $50. In 2016, a two-pack of EpiPen injectors costs $600, and federal legislation makes the EpiPen required in many schools. This price hike has affected American citizens without health insurance very negatively, as they are unable to afford such a high price. An estimated 3.6 million Americans were prescribed EpiPens in 2015, 71% of which can no afford to pay for them. Some parents report that they will spend over $2,000 on EpiPens this year - and since they expire annually, this is not a one time expenditure. Mylan NV's amount of profit made has multiplied by six times due to the price hike. - Another example of unfair price gouging is when KV Pharmaceutical decided to increase their prices by over 10000% for a life-saving prenatal drug (the cost of a single injection is currently $1500, a price that even upper middle class citizens cannot always afford). The FDA had approved the drug, but had not done anything about the giant price hikes, although they could have done so many things to prevent this injustice. The fact that the FDA had completely disregarded the actions of the companies is yet another example of how corrupt both the American government and the pharmaceutical industry is. We want to spread this message to ANYONE interested in these issues. Our first priority is to spread awareness, and bring to light all the injustices committed by large pharmaceutical companies and government officials. We hope to be able to make an impact, and if we can gather enough support for this cause we hope to start a formal petition to drastically lower the maximum and highly inflated prices of life saving drugs in the US so that they can become more available to citizens of lower income, and citizens that can not afford to pay for health insurance. WE have to be the generation to stop this endless cycle of corruption and injustice! To show your support for this cause, go on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook and use #EndBigPharma to help spread the message!
