What the petition asks
The pharmaceutical industry is vital; it's the industry that produces new medicines. The industry is the biggest cost for the NHS; companies charge £90,000 per breast cancer patient for example. Make the industry public, stop profits being made from illness and reduce the cost of the NHS.
