AHF Launches SF Ballot Measure To #39;Stop Runaway Drug Pricing #39;
AHF hosted a press conference Thursday on the steps of San Francisco #39;s City Hall to announce its filing of a ballot measure in San Francisco to allow voters to weigh in on directing San Francisco government officials to, "...employ all opportunities that the municipal government possesses to bring down the price of prescription drugs." The catalyst for the proposed San Francisco ballot measure was AIDS advocates #39; frustration over the news that within days of the Bay Area #39;s own Gilead Sciences #39; September FDA approval of its new four-in-one AIDS treatment combination Stribild, the drug company immediately priced Stribild at $28500 per patient, per year, Wholesale Acquisition Cost (WAC) - a whopping 37% more than the price of Gilead #39;s best-selling three-in-one AIDS treatment, Atripla - and also an amount more than most US AIDS patients earn in a year.From:aidshealthViews:1 0ratingsTime:01:11More inNonprofits Activism
