South Africa did the same thing in the early '90s and got their asses embargoed by the wonderful U.S. of A. In fact, Al Gore was the man behind this, with one of his main advisors being an ex-drug company lobbyist.
It was much cheaper to produce the drugs domestically but the drug corporations didn't like that. Screw the sick and dying, we want our money damn it!!
I guess the drug companies should follow the example of entertainment. Patent the coating on the outside of the pills so that if anyone breaks open the pill to examine the contents to provide alternatives, sue the living fuck out of them.
I also know that one of the administrations top people is a college buddy of his Brazilian counterpart. A little back scratching?
