We Need to Keep Talking About TPP... TPP to Protect American Freedom to Not Afford Medicine

[EEO]

We really do. Yes. I know. Terrorism. But we cannot allow ourselves to be distracted from one crisis, because we are really focusing on another crisis. TPP is going to be devastating to Americans - from jobs and wages and standard of living to food safety and prescription drug affordability. The below piece of satire makes some pretty good points.

TPP to Protect American Freedom to Not Afford Medicine

WASHINGTON (The Nil Admirari) - Earlier today, President Obama announced the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) - a massive multinational trade deal the president intends to sign - will protect the freedom of all Americans to not afford life-saving medicines. Instead, TPP will allow pharmaceutical companies to make more blood money by letting them keep longer patents on their drugs, and almost indefinitely prevent critical, far more affordable generic drugs from entering the American market.

And...

Obama added, "Not only does TPP have the potential to bankrupt millions more American families like in the days prior to my signature healthcare law, but a flood of brand name drugs and no generic alternatives may also bankrupt programs like Medicare."

"Once TPP is signed by President Obama, the American people will get to roll the dice whenever they purchase food. Because protecting American consumers from being poisoned by imported food puts the irrelevant health of consumers over the profits of corporations," announced White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest.
