Former President Bill Clinton announced agreements with drug companies Tuesday to lower the price of so-called "second-line" AIDS drugs for people in the developing world and to make a once-a-day AIDS pill available for less than $1 a day.

The anti-retroviral drugs are needed by patients who develop resistance to first-line treatment and currently cost 10 times as much as first-line therapy, Clinton said. Nearly half a million patients will require these drugs by 2010.

Clinton's foundation negotiated agreements with generic drug makers Cipla Ltd. and Matrix Laboratories Ltd. that he said would mean an average savings of 25 percent in low-income countries and 50 percent in middle-income countries. He said the companies collaborated with the foundation to lower production costs, in part by securing lower prices for raw materials.

The reduced-price, once-daily pill combines the drugs tenofovir, lamivudine and efavirenz.

Clinton said the new price of $339 per patient per year would be 45 percent lower than the current rate available to low-income countries and 67 percent less than the price available to many middle-income countries

what will Dubya do as an ex-president? I can't see him doing a single altruistic thing. Its not like Clinton actually did any of this but certainly the direction of his foundation is mostly determined by him.

Create a fund to subsidize prescription drugs for retired petroleum executives.

Create a fund that supports research into pseudo-science.

clinton is over-reaching, which isn't bad in this case. at first i think this is doomed right out of the box (you ever try to get 3rd worlders to keep a regimen who have no concept of regularly taking drugs?).

i don't think dubya will do as much, as he's not an attention whore, and not as many people will be courting his influence (or whatever's left of it).

At this rate his post office activities may be limited to a greeter at an Atlantic City casino.

Wow talk about systematic bias against the president. Just more proof that the media is becoming increasingly liberal.
