"Free" Trade between USA & Australia to destroy subsidised medicine

[the Kelly Gang]

Australian PM John Howard has been itching to destroy Australia's great subsidised medical benefits system..patients end up paying no more than about $US20 for necessary drugs..this was the scheme that Hillary Clinton set out to investigate when Bill
Clinton became President and began the ire of the US right wing against her.

George W Bush's biggest campaign fund doners are the US drug cartels and the one subject Bush discussed with Howard when he visited Australia recently was the drug subsidy scheme.

Now the Free Trade Deal jsut signed hands over to US corporations the right to have an input into this scheme.
