In Washington USA, The Pharma Industry Spends $170 Million Dollars Lobbing Politicians

in #community7 years ago

Just to show you that not even USA, the most “DEMOCRATIC” country in the world escapes the tentacles of corruption. Yes, our Congress and Senate have been bought by the big OIL, PHARMA, CHEMICAL, and FOOD corporations to act on their favor, not in favor of the people that “elect” them.



WELCOME TO AMERICA 😀

Sort:  

Trump changed into proper on both counts. Pharmaceutical corporations spend some distance extra than some other enterprise to influence politicians. Drugmakers have poured near $2.5bn into lobbying and funding members of Congress during the last decade. loads of heaps of dollars have gone to McConnell – although he is hardly ever on my own. nine out of 10 contributors of the house of Representatives and all but 3 of the us’s 100 senators have taken marketing campaign contributions from pharmaceutical corporations looking for to affect law on the whole thing from the fee of medicine to how new drug treatments are permitted. Trump’s nominee for drug czar, the usa congressman Tom Marino, turned into pressured to withdraw after a report via the Washington put up and CBS’s 60 minutes highlighted his position in forging regulation that hinders the DEA’s capability to transport towards drug vendors or pharmacies recklessly doling out the opioid painkillers at the heart of the epidemic, which claims more than a hundred lives an afternoon.
