Fair Pricing Coalition
Tell Abbott That We Will Not Accept a High Price for Their New Norvir!June 8, 2009 Hi: You may remember that in 2003 Abbott raised the price of Norvir 400%. Abbott has a new Norvir formulation known as Meltrex (which will not require refrigeration) and is threatening to raise the price yet again for both government and private payers. This will have a devastating effect on both the healthcare system and Norvir patient access. Norvir is necessary for "boosting" every marketed protease inhibitor (PI) and is the only boosting agent currently on the market. Thus, the price of Norvir effects the price of every PI containing regimen used by people with HIV. The Fair Pricing Coalition has begun an initiative regarding the potential increased price of Norvir, the cost to government payers and the establishment of a Meltrex co-pay program. A sign-on letter is attached for your review. We hope you and/or your organization will sign on by June 29, 2009. Please contact me to sign-on to the letter. We also welcome your assistance in disseminating this sign-on letter to your contacts. Thanks so much for your consideration and your anticipated cooperation.

Tue., Jun. 16, 2009 at 7:35 pm EDT It a shame that men has became more interested in money than someone else life, I am sure that if the persons in charge of raising medication prices had a close family member with living with HIV they wouldn't think that way, I have started to believe that government has the cure for HIV and AIDS but instead of treating the problem as a disease that needs attention, they treat it as a business. I wonder what would happen if someone purposely infect with HIV those persons in charge of looking for better ways to eradicate AIDS, I am sure they will come up with the right answers instead of hiding them. It's like having a rich person living like a king in the middle of a very poor town where people is dying of hunger and suddenly having someone breaking into his house and taking everything away from him just to teach him how it feels. It is time for us to come forward and force them to do something about it or make them quit and get someone who is honestly willing to eradicate HIV for good. George Bush is an idiot who lied to us and spend so much money in that war in Irak and used his political power for personal reasons, if his entire family would of never existed this country wouldn't have been the way it is now with enemies every where in the world, and people dying of aids and losing their homes. It would be nice to inject him with HIV virus and take all the money away from his family to teach him a lesson. In other countries like Ecuador if the president don't do his job the people will not only take him of power but they will make sure he returns all the money that he stole from the country, it's like a job contract. I think that the problem will eventually catch up with them to the point that they either kill all HIV infected people or they create the cure for them
