Drug maker Gilead and JP Morgan/Chase run by Jamie Dimon had an investment conference in San Francisco on Monday January 11th, 2016 to further monetize the profits from the drug industry.
Community and labor protesters demanded that the price for the pill for Hepatitis-C which drug maker Gilead produces be dropped so the 3 million people who have the disease are able to afford it. The company charges $1000 a pill while in some countries like Egypt they pay only $10 a pill. As a result of the charges for the pills cost for a treatment runs over $100,000.
Mumia Abu-Jamal an honorary member of CWA-NABET and a world journalist who is imprisoned in Pennsylvania may die from the disease since the prison refuses to provide the drug to him. There are 733,000 prisoners with similar diseases who also face a death sentence if they do not receive the drug. Demonstrators also demanded that the healthcare industry be made public so all people can afford drugs and treatment.
