Leading Innovative Cancer Doctor Warns on CAFTA

[Guest guest]

Hi Jag,

It was very disappointing (to say the absolute, very least) to

travel overseas and see some of the medications I needed but

couldn't afford, available at a fraction of the cost. Same

manufacturer. It made me feel like I was flying back to an immense

concentration camp where, unless you have enough money or are tied

to a corporation, you're denied what should be your most sacred

right--sovereignty of health.
