The chairman of the House's oversight committee is launching an investigation into three drug companies for allegedly obstructing a congressional probe into generic drug prices.
Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), the top Democrat on the Senate Budget Committee, said Tuesday they would investigate an apparent coordinated obstruction campaign on the part of Heritage Pharmaceuticals, Mylan N.V. and Teva Pharmaceuticals.
Not only did your companys apparent obstruction undermine our investigation, but it may have caused further harm to patients and health care providers by delaying the discovery of evidence about the companies price-fixing, Cummings and Sanders wrote in letters to the firms.
"Furthermore, obstructing or evading a Congressional investigation, including withholding or concealing information, is a violation of federal law.

(45,120 posts)George, I know you know how to read. The word they, is used to refer to two or more people or things previously mentioned or easily identified. The two of them, Cummings and Sanders are working together. It seems that really upsets you. Sanders was never named to the House Committee on Oversight and Reform. Why would he need to be named to that to work with the chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform? Sanders is the top Democrat on the Senate Budget Committee.
I think it's a great idea that the two of them, Cumming and Sanders, both have teamed up to investigate an apparent coordinated obstruction campaign on the part of Heritage Pharmaceuticals, Mylan N.V. and Teva Pharmaceuticals. Don't you?
As to when the hearing will be held I would think Cummings and Sanders will keep us informed. There are more details in the article, should you care to read it.

I think it's great the Cummings will be conducting an investigation and ultimate hearings. I hope he yields some positive results.

(45,120 posts)both do a great job. Yeah, we get it George, you don't like Bernie. What you can do is write or call Cummings and with your connections convince him how bad Bernie sucks and maybe he won't work with him. Or maybe he'll laugh at you. Who knows.
