Good job guys. I think we would much rather see them work on issues like this that need addressing than starting a war with Trump and starting a bunch of baseless investigations .

I can go to Mexico or Philippines and buy what needs a prescription in the USA like birth control pills for about 10 times cheaper than what it cost in the USA, and the manufacture are US based companies like Pfizer

   Pharmaceutical companies are big fans of the current health care system.

 

  This probe has a lot of greasy palms to get past for anything to really happen though. I don't have my hopes to high that anything will ultimately be accomplished.

My thoughts exactly.  I wonder how many non-profits will be seeing a nice donation, or consulting contracts will be issued in this fact finding event.

Yeah Bush starting the unfunded prescription drug benefit was useless but very rewarding to Pharmaceutical companies. And we all know that them launching drug probes will be enriching themselves only and screwing yet again us citizens. It is after all their money and not us hard working Americans.
