Johnson & Johnson Beset by RNs: No quarter given to Schwarzenegger allies

by Bill Carpenter (wcarpent [at] ccsf.edu)

"Last year, after Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed four bills that would have allowed Californians to buy cheaper prescription drugs from Canada, Johnson and Johnson contributed almost $50,000 to defeat the measure. Now the industry has pledged $10 million to defeat a ballot initiative that would create drug price controls with real teeth. Johnson & Johnson has already donated $1.3 million to the campaign."

"Johnson & Johnson was a major contributor to a ballot initiative intended to silence the voices of nurses and other public employees from participating in the political process, a sharp contrast to their much-hyped image as an advocate for nurses."

And the way to stop it, Fred explains, is through "economy of scale": Californians acting through our state government can match the economic power of Johnson & Johnson (Band-Aid, Tylenol, Neutrogena, and more) and the rest of big pharma.
That is, in unity there is strength.
