In Illinois we called this a fetcher bill. Create a complex bill as a work in progress. Hint at targeted specific injuries to big moneyed corporations.

Receive large campaign donations from some of the big corporations. Mysteriously the some parts of the complex bill disappear or are rewritten so as to harm mostly the competition that did not donate money.

Do you think Nancy's husband is the only one who knows how to make money? Why do you think Nancy's fund raising ability keeps her in power?

First of all, it's not a hot seat. It's THEATER. They are pretending to scold, the witnesses are pretending to be contrite and vow to do better, and NOTHING CHANGES.

Most of these "interrogators" take campaign contributions from pharmaceutical manufacturers. Does anyone really think they will in any way punish their donors?

This is all just bullshit.

These political hacks would be well advised to research the “cheaper” generics they’re promoting from third-world countries that aren’t being adequately inspected. Buyer beware. Your drugs are coming from Mexico, Costa Rica, China, India, etc. Each of us would be well advised to do our homework. What you’re taking could be causing you great harm.

“...The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is inspecting only a small number of the Chinese companies that manufacture U.S. drugs, and those it does inspect are often found to have serious health violations. Meanwhile, the drugs that are making their way into the United States from China, either as finished products or as ingredients, are often falling far below U.S. safety standards. And some of these drugs are not being inspected at all...”

Government interference in the health care and insurance markets caused the problems, and now they want more government to supposedly fix it. Rinse, repeat. Every time government attempts to “help”, it always makes things worse. In addition, it always benefits politicians and their cronies. Funny how that works.

I was on a drug during 2017 and it cost $300 for a 90 day supply. Doc took me off of it for all of 2018. He decided to put me back on it for 2019. Price came in at $900 for a 90 day supply. Stuck with replacement that is not quite as good but only cost about $180 for a 90 day supply.
