For those who aren't aware of what PhRMA is - this is the Lobbying group for the Pharmaceutical industry.
NRA lobbies to ensure that anyone can buy a gun (or even an assault rifle) even if that person has been a suspect on an FBI terrorist list or a wife beater.
PhRMA ensures that anyone who has even the slightest aches & pains can get a prescription to highly addictive Opiate painkillers.
In the end both groups are ultimately responsible for the death of Americans whether it's victims of mass gun shootings or overdoses from those whose addiction started with the use of Prescription Opiates.
These groups are out there only to ensure profits for the groups they represent and when people die they blame everyone but the groups they represents.
Lobbying laws need to change.

(17,469 posts)or are you saying that "vile" when used to reference misdeeds by a pharmaceutical company is spelled "vial" for some reason?
