Looks like CEO Soloman didn’t contribute enough to the Democrat Party or didn’t promise a kickback for their support of ObamaCare. That’s the Chicago Democrat Thug method of politics BO has done in the past.
The Big Pharma companies all caved and no doubt will be able to pay this protection racket, but smaller companies like Forest will just disappear. Perhaps one of the fat cat companies have their sights set on grabbing Forest, if it’s profitable. Crony capitalism and crony communism are kissing cousins.

Big long-time Dem contributor, and big Obama donations. I hope he, and others, have learned something. From the FEC.gov disclosure database:

Not sure about the 10065 zip code refund. Might be a business address / home address thing.
