BREAKING: Three moderate “Democrats” vote down Pelosi’s legislation to lower drug prices in a vital House Committee, defeating it. Kurt Schrader (Ore.), Scott Peters (Calif.) & Kathleen Rice (N.Y.) have gotten a staggering $1.8 million dollars from Big Pharma.
Three House Dems working to kill drug price legislation raked in $1.8 million from pharma donors — and the top aide for one of them is now a pharma lobbyist.
Two of the three Democrats who tanked the party’s proposal to allow Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices — Scott Peters and Kurt Schrader — together have received more than $1.7 million in donations from Big Pharma.
There is nothing “moderate” about bucking a proposal that is supported by your own party, your own constituents, and the majority of Americans across the political spectrum. We desperately need to get big money out of politics.
if you could just let us know how much it costs to buy a representative, that’d be helpful. maybe if the people pool their funds they can outbid your pharmaceutical bosses.
