Yahoo! News - New Bush AIDS Strategy Assailed by Health Activists: "''It's a go-slow, go-it-alone approach'', noted Paul Zeitz, head of the Global AIDS Alliance (GAA). ''And it's amazing that more than 13 months after the president announced the plan, only now is the first dollar being spent.'
The new strategy paper also failed to clarify a key question--whether Washington will buy life-preserving, anti-AIDS drugs from generic producers, which come mostly from developing countries such as India, Thailand, and Brazil, as opposed to Western, brand name drugs that generally are more expensive.
Many activists are concerned that the administration will buy only brand-name drugs"
