Despite the fact that he is a low-life amoebazoid, he does have a point about Congress.
True. Elijah Cummings was in the room.
But on top of that, there's exactly one reason that Pharmaceutical companies charge prices as they do: because Congress enabled it via extended patent protections, which were in turn done because of the high cost of drug development, which is there because of rigorous testing, which is there because of the costs of litigation.
While this guy is a creep, he's a creation of Congress itself.
That was my reaction as well.
Yep. Congress is pretty contemptible.
