The Trans-Pacific Partnership -- Is It Bad for Your Health?

The author reflects on the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP) under negotiations by 12 Pacific Rim countries, including Australia, New Zealand, and the U.S. Topics discussed include the TPP's implications for a wide range of health policy issues, from medicine prices to tobacco regulation, concerns raised by groups like Medecins sans Frontieres and Oxfam against the TPP, and the draft chapters of the TPP, including those on intellectual property and investor-state dispute settlement.
