As a result, they had little direct effect on health, and health experts could reasonably leave their details to trade professionals. Not so today. Modern trade pacts have implications for a wide range of health policy issues, from medicine prices to tobacco regulation, not only in the developing world but also in the United States.Every member of the House of Representatives needs to read this NEJM article before the crucial vote tomorrow on fast-track authority. If Congress grants the President fast-track authority and eventually provides nonnegotiable blanket approval of TPP, “the United States could be signing away its authority to regulate critical aspects of health policy for years to come.”
