I don't understand why this supposed settlement between the U.S. and South Africa has met with such rejoicing. As I read it, the U.S. and South Africa have simply agreed to find an agreement on protecting drug makers' interests while serving the needs of South African AIDS patients. It seems to me that the conditions for a continuing impasse remain in place -- that an enormous gulf remains between what drug makers and South African authorities would consider reasonable reimbursement for AIDS medicines. Am I missing something?
