Political Quotes

“For patients with leukemia, doctors often prescribe Imbruvica. In 2021, Johnson & Johnson and AbbVie sold it for a combined $10 billion. Keytruda, a drug prescribed to cancer patients, netted Merck $20 billion; and Humira, a prescription drug for arthritis, allowed AbbVie to rake in $21 billion. This needs to stop. Big Pharma is putting profits over people. They have three lobbyists for every one Member of Congress and have spent $370 million on lobbying while making excessive profits on the backs of cancer families. That is why Senator Sanders and I have a bill to rein in prescription drug costs, and that is why I said let's ban PAC and lobbyist money. Americans shouldn't pay more for their drugs than the average price people in other countries are paying. ____________________”
