Professor Fran Quigley, ’87, wrote a column published in the Fort Wayne Journal Gazette that outlines how the passage of the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement could make it more difficult for the working class to afford medicines.
Nearly one in five people in the United States doesn’t fill their prescriptions because they cannot afford them, Professor Quigley notes in the column. Access to medicine is the subject of Professor Quigley’s latest scholarship. His most recent book, titled Prescription for Change: 22 Reasons Why and How Medicine Should Be For Patients, Not Profits, will be published by Cornell University Press in 2017.
Professor Quigley is a clinical professor of law, teaching in the Health and Human Rights Clinic. Clinic students advocate for rights on behalf of the poor.
