The drugs companies are basically holding the world to ransom charging inflated prices for life saving drugs, this came to a head when (I think it was) South Africa could no longer afford anti AIDS drugs and got them cheaper from India.
India has an industry making copies of drugs for less than half the price of the major companies and they sell them to countries that cannot afford the so called "legal" prices. All power to them (I know that the companies did all the research etc but serves them right for trying to make criminally huge profits)
