When President George W. Bush gathers with the leaders of the world's seven other richest and most powerful countries at the G-8 summit in Genoa, Italy, one topic likely to come up is the global fight against AIDS and the United States insistence that pharmaceutical patent rights be protected, says Temple professor of public health Clara S. Haignere. "Bush is insisting that patent rights be protected and opposes the European Union's recommendation to create a database where drug prices could be posted for all to see," says Haignere. "Such a U.S. policy would convert the future $10 billion UN fund to fight AIDS into a subsidy for the largest U.S. drug companies. Once again, Bush wants Americans to appear to be doing 'the right thing,' but only so long as big business makes a disproportional profit."
