[CTC] Patient Access to Affordable Medicines: How a Renegotiated NAFTA Could Keep Drug Prices High

[Arthur Stamoulis]

Association for Accessible Medicines, AARP and others warn that NAFTA 2.0 appears worse than TPP on access to medicines (and potentially even worse than U.S. law).  Hopefully, that improves in the final days of negotiations.  We should know for sure if and when texts are released next week.

On August 31, President Trump notified Congress of his intent to sign a trade agreement with Mexico. This agreement could have a significant impact on the United States’ economy, including prescription drug pricing and the emerging biosimilars market.

Please join the Association for Accessible Medicines (AAM) for a briefing to discuss the proposed NAFTA agreement, its impact on rising prescription drug prices and recommendations for a stronger agreement.
