So if I'm to understand the article correctly, the 10% tax on medicine levied by 3 nations and the 30% tax leveled by one nation is the cause of the AIDS medicine shortage in Africa? That seems like a bit of a stretch to me. Some of these medicines cost more per dose than a sub Saharran African earns in a year....subtract 10% from too much and you're still left with too much.
