Nice little tale of David versus Goliath in the free trade arena. Especially noteworthy for their comments regarding the intention of a select group of US Senators petitioning President Obama to undermine their healthcare system as a prerequisite for entering the free trade agreement. (which can be further illuminated at this link: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10727799  The comments at the bottom of this editorial give one a good view of another country's healthcare system and also how they view healthcare in the United States).

Also, it would be a good bet that the Senators responsible for the letter to President Obama are firmly entrenched in Pharma's pocket. (see this link: http://finance.senate.gov/newsroom/ranking/release/?id=9bcacbf4-3041-49ad-b4cd-6cd9bbad55a4 for full text of letter and authorizing signatures in the PDF on the linked page)
