House Democrats launch drug-pricing probe into a dozen major health-care companiesAbbVie, Amgen, AstraZeneca, Celgene, Eli Lilly, Johnson & Johnson, Mallinckrodt, Novartis, Novo Nordisk, Pfizer, Sanofi and Teva Pharmaceuticals received letters seeking detailed information and documents about the companies' pricing practices. Why are they being investigated when Trump claimed that drug prices are at an all time low? I just hope the Democrats don't just waste taxpayer dollars with meaningless politically motivated crap like everyone expects them to. This seems a needed topic, but stay away from political theater Democrats. Just watch the SJC in 2018 if you want to see your embarrassment. Nice to see them investigating actual wrong doing and not just investigating HRC again.

Drugmakers say his view is flawed and oversimplified, and will restrict patients’ access to important medicines. If people aren’t understanding of the need to allow companies to freely price their own property for sale then we will soon live in a country no longer interested in curing cancer, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and heart disease. You can’t have it both ways freedom If you’re going to tweet an article then at least allow us to read it free. It takes 20 years of testing to demonstrate the safety of a drug, maybe that explains why they are so expensive.

New HHS rule would require drug companies to disclose prices in TV adsTrump administration says it plans to require drug makers to start disclosing prices in television advertisements. Why couldn't other Presidents lower the big money making pharm companies? Oh yea, I forgot for a moment, because they were big donors to Clintons and Noboama WalkAway That's awesome. Waiting for the leftist problem with this, it's there, wait for it. But isn't it against their 1st amendment rights to not say what it costs? Or something?
