When was Hillary Clinton ever running health policy? Apart from trying to implement 'Clintoncare' early in the Bill Clinton presidency I can not find any record of this.
I agree that insisting that third world countries who are already debtors to first world countries for aid pay huge sums for HIV drugs is problematic at best, but I am not sure why you add Clinton's name into this argument.
- Alex3917 10y agoBill controversially appointed her to be the chairperson for Task Force on National Health Care Reform, which was responsible for creating the healthcare policy for the white house. This task for is what created the Hillarycare bill. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/biography/clinton-hillary/ http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/biograph...

B) The issue you mention does not even fall under health care policy, it falls under IP and trade policy, because the point of objection is when foreign nations nullify or nationalize U.S. pharma patents. That is an ongoing fight to this day, BTW.
