Activists say poor nations' access to affordable drugs stymied

Activists from all over the world have accused the Obama administration of blocking greater access to affordable drugs in a bid to win pharmaceutical companies' support for its healthcare overhaul. Organizations such as Doctors Without Borders said they had hoped President Obama would join them in the fight to make generic drugs available to combat disease in impoverished countries. Obama officials have rejected the criticism, saying that the president remained committed to the international health goals he embraced during his campaign.
