Republicans warn drug companies not to cooperate with investigation

Earlier this year, Democrats on the House Oversight Committee took an interest in how the pharmaceutical industry sets prices on prescription medications, and Chairman Elijah Cummings reached out to the major drug companies for information. None of this was especially surprising – it’s an important issue, of concern to millions of Americans, and it’s understandable that the committee would seek answers.

Republicans on the House Oversight Committee sent letters to a dozen CEOs of major drug companies warning that information they provide to the committee could be leaked to the public by Democratic chair Elijah Cummings in an effort to tank their stock prices. BuzzFeed’s report went on to note that Jordan and Meadows – leaders of the right-wing House Freedom Caucus – want Big Pharma to believe Democrats will misuse the information drug companies provide as part of a dastardly plot to drive down stock prices.

MaddowBlog Yes they want middle class and the poor suffer. These two racist, corrupt individuals are puppets of trump.

MaddowBlog Such a complex issue! How do you promise your constituents that you’re committed to reducing the cost of prescription medications while accepting money from Big Pharma? Hypocrisy isn’t as easy as it used to be, is it Gym Jordan?

MaddowBlog SpeakerPelosi Actually they should be legislative measures that medications shall be non profit. Life depends on medicine. Yet people get rich off those that die or suffer because they can't afford them. No more billionaire pharmaceuticals.

MaddowBlog Oh eff it.

MaddowBlog It’s like there are two governments.

MaddowBlog The actions taken, based on meritless claims, by Jim_Jordan and RepMarkMeadows should be grounds for removal. Malicious behavior like this is far beneath the basic level of decency expected from members of Congress.

MaddowBlog Wow, that is REALLY crummy! You never hear about democrats doing underhanded stuff like the republicans, what is going on with them, have they lost all decency. Now it is all about winning no matter what or no matter what you have to do, JUST WIN!

MaddowBlog So they are encouraging corporations to break the law. Republicans are brazen in their efforts to destroy the foundations of our constitution.
