Political Quotes

“I do not mind when pharmaceutical companies make profits. In fact, I want them to make profits because it is evidence that they are providing a product that people value and people need. I am also one of the most vehemently opposed, amongst all Members of Congress, there is nobody more vehemently opposed to price controls than me. And I have nothing but criticism for countries overseas that fix their prices and intentionally set artificially low prices on drugs or anything else for that matter. The main reason that I support this rule and I support this bill is because this is the only way I can think of that we can begin the process of tearing down the artificial prices around the rest of the world that are forcing Americans to subsidize drug consumption all over the world. This is what we need to do in order to get to more normal market prices everywhere in the world.”
