Jamie Love has spent years battling global drug companies, unshakable in his belief that even the world’s poorest people should have access to life-saving medicines. Is it time that our own government listened to him? [slguardian]

Thanks for posting this. If anyone is interested in more about the people in this article and how AIDS drugs were blocked in Africa, the documentary Fire in the Blood is excellent.

Jamie Love sounds like a terrific warrior for those who need it. It's interesting how personal stories also affect big movements, like his wife's cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Jamie Love is a hero. I don't know how people in Big Pharma sleep at night. (without the aid of ambien, I mean)
