A clause in Barack Obama’s Trans-Pacific Partnership would establish an even bigger monopoly for the pharmaceutical industry. The deal allows Big Pharma to block cancer patients from being able to access affordable drugs. Part of the US proposal extends de facto monopolies on biological medicines by up to eight years.

One cancer patient named Zahara Heckscher was recently arrested at a Westin Hotel in Atlanta, Georgia, for speaking about the issue while a Trans-Pacific Partnership meeting was taking place in the building. The meeting included policymakers from dozens of countries. Zahara was not welcome there.

She led her protest in the hallway outside the meeting with a shirt that read, “I Have Cancer. I Can’t Wait Years.” She is protesting the “death sentence” in the controversial TPP trade agreement. Not only is the agreement selling away Americans’ sovereignty, destroying democracy and putting corporations in control, but it is also blocking countless cancer patients from receiving affordable cancer medications.

For those who have become dependent on cancer control drugs, the prices are set to go up under the TPP deal. The deal gives the biggest pharmaceutical companies strict control over the drug market, keeping affordable generics out and blocking more valuable therapies from ever competing in the medical marketplace.
