John, we wanted to make sure you saw this latest from Katie (we’ve shared it below in case you missed it):
Here’s the low down: earlier this week, Katie brought back the white board to hold a powerful Big Pharma CEO accountable. The CEO tried explaining that the reason his company’s drugs were so expensive was because of “research and development costs”—as if the company’s money wasn’t going directly into the pockets of investors, shareholders, and executives.
Thanks,

John,
Yesterday, I took out my white board to hold a powerful Big Pharma CEO accountable.
This CEO tried explaining that the reason his company’s drugs were so expensive was because of “research and development costs”.
So I took out my visual aids to show exactly where most of the company’s money was really going: directly into the pockets of investors, shareholders, and executives.

For far too long, billionaire companies, big banks, wealthy CEOs, special interest groups, lobbyists, and corrupt politicians have used money and influence to bend the rules and call the shots in their favor.
That’s why I’ve always used my time in committee hearings to make members of the public—and the consumers and patients that have been cheated by these companies—feel heard.
Thank you for your constant support—and don’t worry, I’ll let you know when the white board comes out again.
