  • Big Pharma says they need to charge astronomical prices to pay for research and development. Yet, the amount they spend on manipulating the market to enrich shareholders completely eclipses what's spent on R&D. Today, Rep. Katie Porter confronted a CEO about the industry's lies, with visuals.

    2. When he answered about executive compensation did he think she asked about his specific compensation package and that's why his answer was so far off base?
    She doesn't ask questions that she doesn't know answers to. How do these business "leaders" not understand that yet?
