WikiLeaks has just published another section of the secret text — this one
about public healthcare and the pharmaceutical industry. Newly revealed
details of the draft show the TPP would give major pharmaceutical
companies more power over public access to medicine, and weaken public
healthcare programs. The leaked draft also suggests the TPP would prevent
Congress from passing reforms to lower drug costs. One of the practices
that would be allowed is known as "Evergreening." It lets drug companies
extend the life of a patent by slightly modifying their product and then
getting a new patent.
