The Healthcare Annex, according to WikiLeaks, “seeks to regulate state schemes for medicines and medical devices. It forces healthcare authorities to give big pharmaceutical companies more information about national decisions on public access to medicine, and grants corporations greater powers to challenge decisions they perceive as harmful to their interests.”
Dr. Deborah Gleeson, who gave professional review and analysis to WikiLeaks said, “The purported aim of the Annex is to facilitate ‘high-quality healthcare’ but the Annex does nothing to achieve this. It is clearly intended to cater to the interests of the pharmaceutical industry.” Gleeson added, “Nor does this do anything to promote ‘free trade.’”
“The inclusion of the Healthcare Transparency Annex in the TPP serves no useful public interest purpose. It sets a terrible precedent for using regional trade deals to tamper with other countries’ health systems and could circumscribe the options available to developing countries seeking to introduce pharmaceutical coverage programs in the future,” noted Gleeson.
For Americans, it means Congress wouldn’t be able to reform Medicare, reported WikiLeaks.
WikiLeaks reports the document isn’t released until four years after the TPP is passed into law.
“The TPP is the world’s largest economic trade agreement that will, if it comes into force, encompass more than 40 percent of the world’s GDP. Despite the wide-ranging effects on the global population, the TPP and the two other mega-agreements that make up the “Great Treaty”, (the TiSA and the TTIP), which all together cover two-thirds of global GDP, are currently being negotiated in secrecy,” notes WikiLeaks.

Obama is creating a New Job for himself if he has to move out of the White House
This thing is beyond horrific. Brought to you by the Muslim commie who is negotiating the Iran Nuclear surrender.
You had to know it was radioactive as soon as you found out it was a secret. This is what happens when you vote a bunch of 40 somethings into the legislature. Their maturity and judgement haven’t caught up to their position of responsibility. Now they all want to run for President. At this point I’m ready to draft Jeff Sessions.
My guess is that if the Freepers of a certain age had looked at this hot mess Obama is salivating for they would have rejected it out of hand.
Yes. I agree on Sessions. I’ve been tweeting TED on this CRAP every day.
“Selling the supposed bonanza in premiums to private insurers— a LIE, now exposed as rates NO ONE can afford, but they knew that and are looking for their SUBSIDIES to private insurance. Imagine that swindle.”
All with a gun to your head forcing you to buy it under penalty of a fine.
But then again he isn't own by a Hedge Street Billionaire like Saint Ted.
Thank you Liz Warren.
Read and weep.
fast track that traitor wants to give Barry unlimited power.with.
Obama loves his Ted
Like I’m going to waste my time with anything from a moron like you.
You may go now.
Watching the dedicated Saint Ted followers justfy the unreal treasonous behaviour of Cruz is an interesting case study in the stages of denial.
Byeeee
Julian is a hero
It is pathetic that the only way the public has any idea of what is I this agreement is through Wkileaks. The whole agreement should be public and openly debated in Congress. This secret back room deal making when most involved haven’t even read the document borders on treason.
