Sagot sa gamot?

Pinepressure naman ngayon ng Govt ang mga multinational Pharma companies para ibaba ang gamot ng 50%? ano ba sila? baka magsialisan ang mga iyan sa bansa at lumipat sa ibang bansa, tayo rin ang iiyak! Kahit maging piso pa ang mga gamot pero wala namang piso ang mga maliliit na tao, di pa rin sila makakabili ng gamot no?
