Due Week 7 and worth 250 points
Due Week 7 and worth 250 points
PharmaCARE (We CARE about YOUR health®)
is one of the world’s most successful pharmaceutical companies, enjoying a
reputation as a caring, ethical and well-run company that produces high-quality
products that save millions of lives and enhance the quality of life for
millions of others. The company offers free and discounted drugs to low-income
consumers, has a foundation that sponsors healthcare educational programs and
scholarships, and its CEO serves on the PhRMA board. PharmaCARE recently
launched a new initiative, We CARE about YOUR world®, pledging its commitment to
the environment through recycling, packaging changes and other green
initiatives, despite the fact that the company’s lobbying efforts and PAC have
successfully defeated environmental laws and regulations, including extension
of the Superfund tax, which was created by Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA).
Based in New
Jersey, PharmaCARE maintains a large manufacturing facility in the African
nation of Colberia, where the company has found several “healers” eager to freely
share information about indigenous cures and an abundance of Colberians willing
to work for $1.00 a day, harvesting plants by walking five (5) miles into and
out of the jungle carrying baskets that, when full, weigh up to fifty (50)
pounds. Due to the low standard of living in Colberia, much of the population
lives in primitive huts with no electricity or running water. PharmaCARE’s
executives, however, live in a luxury compound, complete with a swimming pool,
tennis courts, and a golf course. PharmaCARE’s extensive activities in Colberia
have destroyed habitat and endangered native species.
